[exit-quit-alias] feat(tui): add "/exit" alias and support plain "exit"/"quit" to quit

[just-every-code]

Summary

• Add "/exit" as an alias for the existing "/quit" slash command.
• Treat plain input of "exit" or "quit" (without a leading slash, case-insensitive) as a graceful exit request instead of sending it to the LLM.

Changes

• codex-rs/tui/src/slash_command.rs: add a strum alias so "/exit" parses to SlashCommand::Quit.
• codex-rs/tui/src/chatwidget.rs: pre-process submitted text; if the trimmed, non-slash input equals "exit" or "quit", send AppEvent::ExitRequest and return.

Rationale

This matches common terminal muscle memory and expectations (typing "exit" or "quit" to leave) and aligns with other tools that accept both "/quit" and "/exit". It also prevents these terms from being sent to the LLM as regular prompts.

Validation

• Built locally with ./build-fast.sh – successful, no warnings or errors.
• Manual reasoning check:
  • Typing "/exit" now quits (parses to Quit).
  • Typing "exit" or "quit" (no slash) quits via AppEvent::ExitRequest.
  • Other messages remain unaffected; unknown non-slash words are still sent to the model.

Notes

• Kept diffs minimal and constrained to TUI input and slash command parsing code.
