crush feat(tasks): Task-tracking tool

This is an implementation of a task tracking tool in Crush similar to that found in other coding agents on the market.

Task tracking tools allow the model to plan its next steps, remain focused, and avoid forgetting tasks, just like a human software engineer would do with their notes. It also has the benefit of giving the user the opportunity to better track the agent's progress through each step of a job.

Addition of three new LLM tools: todo_write, todo_list, and todo_delete
TODO items tracked in the project-level (pwd) sqlite DB found in .crush
Adds presentation of the TODOs to the sidebar
Modifies the system prompts (further meta-prompting messaging may be needed for some of them?) for the various model vendors to encourage them to use the tools to plan ahead and track progress.
An additional change: added DB testing helper routine for creating an in-memory sqlite DB with the Goose migrations applied, to enable tests for code that interact with the DB

Usage is just to use Crush as normal, and now the agent will plan out its work and use task tracking automatically, but for testing you can ask the model to directly add and remove TODOs.

Json parsing issue when the model is sending request to update the todo and also in the right panel added extra things of color coding for the active todos and added new command to see all todo when there are more then 8 todos and also updates the todo sidebar to show 8 todos which contain good distribution allowing todos to auto scroll based on the progress

@orospakr we have an idea of how the design for this should be but it looks like this could be a good base for the feature, will review this and maybe work ontop of this to match the design we want.
