Reject unsupported js_repl image MIME types (#19292)

## Summary

`codex.emitImage` accepted arbitrary image MIME types for byte payloads
and data URLs. That allowed a value like `image/rgba` to be wrapped as
an `input_image`, even though it is not a supported encoded image
format, so the invalid image could reach the model-input path and
trigger output sanitization.

This results in a panic in debug builds because the output sanitization
is meant as a final safety net, not a primary means of rejecting invalid
image types. I've hit this case multiple times when executing certain
long-running tasks.

This PR rejects unsupported image MIME types before they are emitted
from `js_repl`.

## Changes

- Validate `codex.emitImage({ bytes, mimeType })` in the JS kernel so
only encoded PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF payloads are accepted.
- Apply the same MIME allowlist to direct image data URLs, including the
Rust host-side validation path.
- Clarify the JS REPL instructions so agents know byte payloads must
already be encoded as PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF.
