jif-oai e3451ce6be core: share responses request builder with compact requests (#20989)
## Why

`ModelClientSession` and `compact_conversation_history()` were still
rebuilding the same `ResponsesApiRequest` fields separately. That
duplication makes it easy for normal `/responses` turns and compact
requests to drift when request-shape changes land later, which is
exactly the kind of cache-affecting divergence we want to avoid.

This follow-up keeps the scope small by extracting the shared
request-construction logic into one helper and using it from both paths.

## What changed

- move `ResponsesApiRequest` construction into a shared
`ModelClient::build_responses_request(...)` helper in
`core/src/client.rs`
- update the normal `/responses` streaming path to call that helper
instead of the old `ModelClientSession`-local implementation
- update `compact_conversation_history()` to derive its compact payload
from the same helper so `model`, `instructions`, `input`, `tools`,
`parallel_tool_calls`, `reasoning`, and `text` stay aligned with normal
request building
- add a unit test covering the shared helper's prompt cache key,
installation metadata, and `service_tier` behavior

## Verification

- `cargo test -p codex-core
build_responses_request_sets_shared_cache_and_metadata_fields`
- `cargo test -p codex-core --test all
remote_compact_v2_reuses_context_compaction_for_followups`
