docs: trim the TODO file a bit, and put the more important items first

Browse Source 
Remove some things we're never going to do: allowing to replace
newlines, a regression framework, characterset conversions, or
jumping to various screen lines.

A list of desired features
--------------------------
Vague musings:
- FriBidi support?
- Make matching bracket searches sophisticated enough to skip over
brackets inside comments?
- Allow indentation of marked text by spaces as well as tabs?
- Allow indentation to add just enough columns to reach the nearest
multiple of tabsize, rather than always adding tabsize columns?
- Allow conversion between different character sets.
- Allow setting marks (saved positions, not to be confused with the mark
set via Ctrl-^) at various lines and/or columns in the buffer, and
allow movement between them with a single keystroke?
- Allow searching for and replacing newlines?
See also https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47053.
- New regression framework built on expect?
- Add the ability to move to different lines of the screen with a single
keystroke, e.g. M-` (M-~) to go to the top line, M-& (M-7) to go to
the center line, and M-' (M-") to go to the last line?
Somewhat urgent:
- Make undo/redo work also for justifying and indenting.
- Allow text searches in the help viewer.
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28994.
- Detect when text is being pasted, so that we can handle it faster.
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40060.
- Allow to define and execute a macro: a stored sequence of keystrokes.
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50314.
- Allow color syntaxes to apply to more than just color, so that we can
e.g. specify a different alternate spell checker depending on which
file type we have open.

the command's output -- that is: generalize the spell-check flow.

wherever we were before we resized, as Pico does. [DONE]
