Add AbortSignal support to TypeScript SDK (#6378)

## Summary
Adds AbortSignal support to the TypeScript SDK for canceling thread
execution using AbortController.

## Changes
- Add `signal?: AbortSignal` property to `TurnOptions` type
- Pass signal through Thread class methods to exec layer  
- Add signal parameter to `CodexExecArgs`
- Leverage Node.js native `spawn()` signal support for automatic
cancellation
- Add comprehensive test coverage (6 tests covering all abort scenarios)

## Implementation
The implementation uses Node.js's built-in AbortSignal support in
`spawn()` (available since Node v15, SDK requires >=18), which
automatically handles:
- Checking if already aborted before starting
- Killing the child process when abort is triggered
- Emitting appropriate error events
- All cleanup operations

This is a one-line change to the core implementation (`signal:
args.signal` passed to spawn), making it simple, reliable, and
maintainable.

## Usage Example
```typescript
import { Codex } from '@openai/codex-sdk';

const codex = new Codex({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const thread = codex.startThread();

// Create AbortController
const controller = new AbortController();

// Run with abort signal
const resultPromise = thread.run("Your prompt here", {
  signal: controller.signal
});

// Cancel anytime
controller.abort('User requested cancellation');
```

## Testing
All tests pass (23 total across SDK):
- ✅ Aborts when signal is already aborted (both run and runStreamed)
- ✅ Aborts during execution/iteration
- ✅ Completes normally when not aborted
- ✅ Backward compatible (signal is optional)

Tests verified to fail correctly when signal support is removed (no
false positives).
