Add a way to ask side questions without affecting the main session context

[xubohan]

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI, CODEX APP

What feature would you like to see?

It’d be really nice if Codex had a /btw feature. Right now, if I want to ask something on the side without polluting the main context, I have to fork a new session.

I've added a new /side slash command to the CLI for creating side conversations. This will be included in the next release.
