permissions: derive config defaults as profiles (#19772)

## Why

This continues the permissions migration by making legacy config default
resolution produce the canonical `PermissionProfile` first. The legacy
`SandboxPolicy` projection should stay available at compatibility
boundaries, but config loading should not create a legacy policy just to
immediately convert it back into a profile.

Specifically, when `default_permissions` is not specified in
`config.toml`, instead of creating a `SandboxPolicy` in
`codex-rs/core/src/config/mod.rs` and then trying to derive a
`PermissionProfile` from it, we use `derive_permission_profile()` to
create a more faithful `PermissionProfile` using the values of
`ConfigToml` directly.

This also keeps the existing behavior of `sandbox_workspace_write` and
extra writable roots after #19841 replaced `:cwd` with `:project_roots`.
Legacy workspace-write defaults are represented as symbolic
`:project_roots` write access plus symbolic project-root metadata
carveouts. Extra absolute writable roots are still added directly and
continue to get concrete metadata protections for paths that exist under
those roots.

The platform sandboxes differ when a symbolic project-root subpath does
not exist yet.

* **Seatbelt** can encode literal/subpath exclusions directly, so macOS
emits project-root metadata subpath policies even if `.git`, `.agents`,
or `.codex` do not exist.
* **bwrap** has to materialize bind-mount targets. Binding `/dev/null`
to a missing `.git` can create a host-visible placeholder that changes
Git repo discovery. Binding missing `.agents` would not affect Git
discovery, but it would still create a host-visible project metadata
placeholder from an automatic compatibility carveout. Linux therefore
skips only missing automatic `.git` and `.agents` read-only metadata
masks; missing `.codex` remains protected so first-time project config
creation goes through the protected-path approval flow. User-authored
`read` and `none` subpath rules keep normal bwrap behavior, and `none`
can still mask the first missing component to prevent creation under
writable roots.

## What Changed

- Adds profile-native helpers for legacy workspace-write semantics,
including `PermissionProfile::workspace_write_with()`,
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy::workspace_write()`, and
`FileSystemSandboxPolicy::with_additional_legacy_workspace_writable_roots()`.
- Makes `FileSystemSandboxPolicy::workspace_write()` the single legacy
workspace-write constructor so both `from_legacy_sandbox_policy()` and
`From<&SandboxPolicy>` include the project-root metadata carveouts.
- Removes the no-carveout `legacy_workspace_write_base_policy()` path
and the `prune_read_entries_under_writable_roots()` cleanup that was
only needed by that split construction.
- Adds `ConfigToml::derive_permission_profile()` for legacy sandbox-mode
fallback resolution; named `default_permissions` profiles continue
through the permissions profile pipeline instead of being reconstructed
from `sandbox_mode`.
- Updates `Config::load()` to start from the derived profile, validate
that it still has a legacy compatibility projection, and apply
additional writable roots directly to managed workspace-write filesystem
policies.
- Updates Linux bwrap argument construction so missing automatic
`.git`/`.agents` symbolic project-root read-only carveouts are skipped
before emitting bind args; missing `.codex`, user-authored `read`/`none`
subpath rules, and existing missing writable-root behavior are
preserved.
- Adds coverage that legacy workspace-write config produces symbolic
project-root metadata carveouts, extra legacy workspace writable roots
still protect existing metadata paths such as `.git`, and bwrap skips
missing `.git`/`.agents` project-root carveouts while preserving missing
`.codex` and user-authored missing subpath rules.
