Adam Perry @ OpenAI 78f00743f9 Allow disabling the built-in image viewer (#36966) ...

## What changed

- Add the stable, default-enabled `features.view_image` flag.
- Omit the native `view_image` tool when the flag is disabled, including for fresh-context subagents and guardian reviewer turns.
- Keep unrelated execution and MCP tools available when the viewer is disabled.

## Testing

- Add app-server coverage for disabled viewer inheritance in fresh-context subagents and guardian reviewer turns.
