<allowed>value instead of one element per domain.Example

Validation
cargo test -p codex-core environment_contextcargo test -p codex-core build_settings_update_items_emits_environment_item_for_network_changescodexsession with a real network context containing 121 allowed domains and 42 denied domains, then inspected the raw prompt withraw_token_viewer_cli.py. With the same domain set, the rendered<network>section shrank from 7,175 characters across 161 lines to 3,666 characters on one line, and the containing environment-context block fell from 6,428 tokens to 5,379 tokens.
