Move trusted tool metadata into shared Guardian context (#43597)

## What changed

Represent host-verified tool metadata as `TrustedTool` in `codex-guardian-context` and collect it through an async-only context section. Route Guardian v2 sampling through that section while preserving separate developer-message delivery and the 512-token rendering budget. Omit tool metadata from debug output.

## Testing

Move the rendering-budget test into the shared crate, extend registry coverage for async-only collection and debug redaction, and narrow the scoped approval test to messages tagged `guardian.trusted_tool`.
