feat(transports/codex): pass reasoning.effort to xAI Responses API

The is_xai_responses branch only sent include=[reasoning.encrypted_content]
without forwarding the resolved reasoning_effort. Other Responses providers
(OpenAI, GitHub) already get effort forwarded — this aligns the xAI path.

Without this, agent.reasoning_effort is silently dropped on the xAI direct
path, making Hermes unable to control reasoning depth on grok-4.x via
api.x.ai. Tests added to TestCodexBuildKwargs cover effort passthrough,
disabled state, and minimal-clamp parity with non-xAI.
