Michael Bolin 79f044ed34 build: default Codex package target and output (#23541)
## Why

The package builder should be easy to run during local iteration.
Requiring callers to provide both a target triple and an output
directory every time makes the common host-package case more awkward
than necessary.

This PR keeps explicit overrides available, but makes the default
invocation useful: build for the current host platform and place the
package in a fresh temporary directory. Because a temp output path is
otherwise easy to lose, the builder continues to print the final package
directory path when it completes.

## What changed

- Makes `--target` optional and maps the host OS/architecture to
supported Codex package target triples.
- Uses GNU Linux target triples for Linux host defaults, while keeping
the musl targets available for release jobs that pass `--target`
explicitly.
- Makes `--package-dir` optional and creates a new `codex-package-*`
temp directory when omitted.
- Documents the new defaults in `scripts/codex_package/README.md`.

## Verification

- Compiled `scripts/build_codex_package.py` and
`scripts/codex_package/*.py` with `PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1`.
- Ran `scripts/build_codex_package.py --help` from outside the repo.
- Verified Linux host detection maps `x86_64` and `aarch64` to GNU
target triples.
- Ran a fake-Cargo package build while omitting both `--target` and
`--package-dir`; verified the generated metadata target, expected
package files, and printed temp package path.
- Ran a fake-Cargo package build for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` and
verified `codex`, `bwrap`, and `rg` are assembled into the package.
