Owen Lin 52521a5e40 feat(app-server): propagate app-server trace context into core (#13368)
### Summary
Propagate trace context originating at app-server RPC method handlers ->
codex core submission loop (so this includes spans such as `run_turn`!).
This implements PR 2 of the app-server tracing rollout.

This also removes the old lower-level env-based reparenting in core so
explicit request/submission ancestry wins instead of being overridden by
ambient `TRACEPARENT` state.

### What changed
- Added `trace: Option<W3cTraceContext>` to codex_protocol::Submission
- Taught `Codex::submit()` / `submit_with_id()` to automatically capture
the current span context when constructing or forwarding a submission
- Wrapped the core submission loop in a submission_dispatch span
parented from Submission.trace
- Warn on invalid submission trace carriers and ignore them cleanly
- Removed the old env-based downstream reparenting path in core task
execution
- Stopped OTEL provider init from implicitly attaching env trace context
process-wide
- Updated mcp-server Submission call sites for the new field

Added focused unit tests for:
- capturing trace context into Submission
- preferring `Submission.trace` when building the core dispatch span

### Why
PR 1 gave us consistent inbound request spans in app-server, but that
only covered the transport boundary. For long-running work like turns
and reviews, the important missing piece was preserving ancestry after
the request handler returns and core continues work on a different async
path.

This change makes that handoff explicit and keeps the parentage rules
simple:
- app-server request span sets the current context
- `Submission.trace` snapshots that context
- core restores it once, at the submission boundary
- deeper core spans inherit naturally

That also lets us stop relying on env-based reparenting for this path,
which was too ambient and could override explicit ancestry.
