Installer for codex without a dependency manager

I would rather chew asbestos than to use some random self updating, likely vibecoded 3rd party wrapper to run something so easy, something that many package managers already properly distribute builds of.

Never mind you're missing various features like the api proxy, shell completions, etc.

The script doesn’t self-update unless you actually want it to via an explicit flag.

It doesn’t have any features other than installing the latest release from the codex GitHub repo and updating it, and I don’t want it to have more features than that. This is not meant to replace any codex installation via a package manager, if you have a package manager where codex is available then by all means install it through that.
