Charlie Marsh e212cc95b0 Detect Codex installs managed by pnpm (#31503) ...

## Why

The Codex JavaScript shim currently distinguishes npm and Bun installs,
but a global pnpm install falls back to npm. That causes the native CLI,
`codex doctor`, and update flows to report or run npm commands even
though pnpm owns the installation. pnpm also allows its global package
and bin directories to differ, so `PNPM_HOME` does not reliably identify
the package owner.

## What changed

- detect pnpm-managed installs by finding pnpm's
`node_modules/.modules.yaml` metadata from the launched JavaScript
entrypoint
- pass a mutually exclusive `CODEX_MANAGED_BY_PNPM` marker into the
native CLI
- represent pnpm in install context, doctor output, version checks, and
TUI update actions without changing the existing public
`InstallContext::from_exe` signature
- recommend `pnpm add -g @openai/codex` for pnpm-managed installs and
snapshot the rendered TUI update notice

Validated with the 9-test install-context suite, the focused pnpm TUI
snapshot test, and Node's syntax check for the launcher.

Closes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/10294.
