Support configurable Git providers and credentials for self-hosted Git servers

What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
Codex should support alternate Git platforms through a configurable Git provider section in settings:
Settings -> Coding -> Git
Users should be able to add Git hosts beyond github.com, including self-hosted instances, and provide the
credentials Codex needs to resolve repository, branch, issue, pull request, and merge request context.
Examples:
- GitLab.com
- self-hosted GitLab CE / EE
- Forgejo
- Gitea
- other Git-compatible hosts where API support can be added over time
Additional information
There are existing requests for this in related areas:
- #8156 requested broader support for platforms other than GitHub, including GitLab, Gitea, Gogs, and Forgejo.
- #26963 asks for GitLab Merge Request links in the Codex App sidebar, including support for self-hosted GitLab.
Codex currently has first-class GitHub workflow awareness, but many teams use self-hosted or non-GitHub Git platforms.
