Rename agent identity login surface to access token (#21059)

## Why
The external startup/login surface for this auth path should talk about
an access token instead of exposing the internal Agent Identity
terminology. Users should pass `CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN` or pipe a token into
`codex login --with-access-token`; the old external env/flag spellings
are removed so there is only one supported user-facing path.

## What Changed
- Added `CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN` as the supported environment variable for
this auth path.
- Added `codex login --with-access-token` as the supported stdin-based
login command.
- Removed the legacy `CODEX_AGENT_IDENTITY` env-var fallback and hidden
`--with-agent-identity` CLI alias.
- Updated CLI error, status, and stdin prompts to use access-token
language.
- Added coverage for access-token env loading, CLI login failure
behavior, and renamed login status text.

## Validation
- `cargo test -p codex-login`
- `cargo test -p codex-cli`
- `just fix -p codex-login`
- `just fix -p codex-cli`
