Detection of external orchestration now checks env var names against allowlists, dropping several individual checks.

The heuristic that detects whether Claude Code is running under external orchestration (for telemetry/attribution) now checks environment variable names against allowlists more generically, using set-membership checks. Several individually-checked variables, including CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, CLAUDE_CODE_ARTIFACTS_API_TOKEN, and the CLAUDE_BG_* vars, were dropped in favor of this approach.
