Eric Traut 3d1d164aee Remove no-tool goal continuation suppression (#20523) ...

## Why

`/goal` is supposed to keep Codex working until the goal is actually
done. The previous continuation logic had two ways to stop early: the
continuation prompt told the model to wait for new input when it felt
blocked, and the runtime suppressed another continuation turn after a
continuation finished without any tool calls.

That made goals stop short even when the agent could still keep making
progress (I received a few reports of this from users). It also relied
on a brittle heuristic that treated "no registry tool calls" as
equivalent to "should stop."

## What changed

- removed the continuation prompt sentence that told the model to stop
and wait for new input when it could not continue productively
- removed the goal runtime suppression heuristic that stopped
auto-continuation after a no-tool continuation turn
- deleted the continuation-activity bookkeeping and left `tool_calls` as
telemetry only
- added focused regressions for the two intended behaviors: completed
no-tool continuation turns still continue, while `request_user_input`
keeps the existing turn open instead of spawning a new continuation
