Orgzly offers to mark events (entries without keyword) as DONE

Thanks a lot for this very useful piece of software!

This report is about Orgzly 1.8.6.

I noticed that Orgzly's notification about an imminent event (= an org headline with a timestamp but without a todo keyword) prominently offers to set it as DONE and thus turn it into a todo item. If the user chooses this possibility, the event disappears from the agenda. (The possibility to directly mark events DONE is also offered at other places by the UI.)

As an experienced user of orgmode, I find it surprising at potentially dangerous if events can be marked DONE and thus disappear that easily. As far as I can tell turning events into todo items is not part of usual orgmode workflows.

I suggest to either disable this possibility entirely (the user may still edit the entry and add a todo keyword in this way), or at least provide an option to disable this behavior.
