fix(core): restrict modal questions to supported hosts

## Why

The goal extension already emits `ThreadGoalUpdated` events, but
production app-server thread extensions were built with the default
no-op extension event sink. That meant extension-driven goal updates
could be produced without ever reaching app-server clients.

## What changed

- Build app-server thread extensions with a host-provided
`ExtensionEventSink`.
- Add an app-server sink that converts extension `ThreadGoalUpdated`
events into `ServerNotification::ThreadGoalUpdated` broadcasts.
- Use the existing bounded outgoing message channel via `try_send` so
event forwarding cannot create an unbounded queue.
- Pass `NoopExtensionEventSink` in app-server tests that construct a
`ThreadManager` without an app-server host.
- Refresh `Cargo.lock` for the existing `codex-memories-extension`
`codex-otel` dependency.

## Verification

- `just test -p codex-app-server
extensions::tests::app_server_event_sink_forwards_thread_goal_updates`
