Clarify sandbox provider messaging in company environments (#4902)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Company Environments is the operator-facing seam for choosing where
compatible adapters execute work.
> - Sandbox provider plugins such as E2B extend that seam, but they are
not agent adapters themselves.
> - The current Company Environments copy put adapter capability rows
and sandbox-provider enablement on the same page without clearly
distinguishing the two concepts.
> - That made it look like installing the E2B sandbox provider caused a
new adapter to appear under adapters.
> - This pull request clarifies the UI language so provider plugins are
described as backing the Sandbox driver rather than being adapter types.
> - The benefit is a more accurate mental model for operators
configuring environments and adapters.

## What Changed

- Added explicit Company Environments copy stating that installed
sandbox providers are not adapter types and instead back the Sandbox
driver for compatible adapters.
- Renamed the support-matrix column from `Sandbox` to `Sandbox via
plugin` to make the provider relationship visible in the table itself.
- Extended the existing environments UI test to assert the new
clarification text.

## Verification

- `pnpm test -- --run ui/src/pages/CompanySettings.test.tsx`
Result: could not complete cleanly in this worktree because the checkout
is missing its local workspace install links.
- Direct Vitest fallback against `ui/src/pages/CompanySettings.test.tsx`
Result: failed before test collection on local dependency resolution
(`react/jsx-dev-runtime`), so there is no passing automated signal from
this checkout.
- Manual review
Confirm the Company Environments page now says sandbox providers are not
adapter types and labels the table column as `Sandbox via plugin`.

## Risks

- Low risk. This is a copy-only UI clarification plus a matching test
assertion; the main risk is wording drift if the product later decides
sandbox providers should be surfaced differently.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex via the local `codex_local` Paperclip adapter. This run
used tool-assisted code editing and shell execution. The exact backend
model ID and context window are not exposed in the Paperclip run context
for this session.
