docs: reduce the TODO file to a reference to the bug tracker on Savannah
All those items that were marked as DONE are not actually TO-DO items. Also, most of those things are mentioned in the IMPROVEMENTS file too. So, add the few that were missing there, and condense/rewrap some.

A list of desired features
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
For a list of open bugs and requested features see:
|
||||
|
||||
* Add support for right-to-left text (RTL).
|
||||
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=nano
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow setting bookmarks (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?
|
||||
