feat: introduce ExternalSandbox policy (#8290)

## Description

Introduced `ExternalSandbox` policy to cover use case when sandbox
defined by outside environment, effectively it translates to
`SandboxMode#DangerFullAccess` for file system (since sandbox configured
on container level) and configurable `network_access` (either Restricted
or Enabled by outside environment).

as example you can configure `ExternalSandbox` policy as part of
`sendUserTurn` v1 app_server API:

```
 {
            "conversationId": <id>,
            "cwd": <cwd>,
            "approvalPolicy": "never",
            "sandboxPolicy": {
                  "type": ""external-sandbox",
                  "network_access": "enabled"/"restricted"
            },
            "model": <model>,
            "effort": <effort>,
            ....
        }
```

- For clients that are already sandboxed externally, set `sandboxPolicy` to `{"type":"externalSandbox","networkAccess":"enabled"}` (or omit `networkAccess` to keep it restricted). Codex will not enforce its own sandbox in this mode; it tells the model it has full file-system access and passes the `networkAccess` state through `environment_context`.
Notes:
- Empty `command` arrays are rejected.
- `sandboxPolicy` accepts the same shape used by `turn/start` (e.g., `dangerFullAccess`, `readOnly`, `workspaceWrite` with flags).
- `sandboxPolicy` accepts the same shape used by `turn/start` (e.g., `dangerFullAccess`, `readOnly`, `workspaceWrite` with flags, `externalSandbox` with `networkAccess` `restricted|enabled`).
- When omitted, `timeoutMs` falls back to the server default.
