feat: runtime user secrets injection into workspaces (#24313)

Injects user secrets into workspace agents at runtime via the agent
manifest. Secrets with an environment variable name are set as
environment variables in every agent session and startup script. Secrets
with a file path are written to disk before startup scripts run.

- Fetch user secrets in GetManifest and convert to proto
- Defensively strip secrets from manifests received by the agent to
   avoid accidental leakage
- Add WorkspaceSecret type and proto conversion helpers to agentsdk
- Write secret files eagerly on manifest fetch (0600 perms, 0700 dirs)
- Inject secret env vars per-session in updateCommandEnv
- Expand ~/paths using caller-resolved home directory
- Log file write errors without blocking workspace startup
