fix(approval): close remaining prompt_toolkit deadlock vectors (#15216)

PR #13734 fixed the concurrent-tool-executor vector (ThreadPoolExecutor
workers didn't inherit the CLI's TLS approval callback). Two vectors
remained that could still land in the deadlocking input() fallback:

1. _spawn_background_review spawns a raw threading.Thread with no
   approval callback installed, so any dangerous-command guard the
   review agent trips falls back to input() -> deadlock against the
   parent's prompt_toolkit TUI (same class as delegate_task subagents,
   fixed in 023b1bff1 / #15491). Install a _bg_review_auto_deny
   callback at thread start, clear on finally.

2. prompt_dangerous_approval's fallback unconditionally spawned a
   daemon thread calling input() when approval_callback was None.
   That fallback can never succeed under prompt_toolkit because the
   user's Enter goes to pt's raw-mode stdin capture. Detect an active
   pt Application via get_app_or_none() and fail closed (deny + log)
   instead, so future threads that forget to install a callback
   degrade gracefully instead of hanging 60s invisibly.

Regression guards:
- tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py verifies the review
  worker thread sees a callable auto-deny callback mid-run and that
  the slot is cleared in the finally block.
- tests/tools/test_approval.py TestFailClosedUnderPromptToolkit
  verifies prompt_dangerous_approval returns 'deny' fast under a
  mocked pt Application, and that a real callback still wins over
  the guard.
