Enable analytics in codex exec and codex mcp-server (#13083)

Addresses #12913

`codex exec` was not correctly defaulting to Otel metrics to enabled 
`codex mcp-server` completely lacked an Otel collector

Summary:
- default to enabling analytics when `codex exec` initializes
OpenTelemetry so the CLI actually reports metrics again
- add a regression test that proves the flag remains enabled by default
- added Otel collector to `codex mcp-server`
