allow newly created tasks to be entered with arbitrary metadata about taskwiki HOT 8 CLOSED

Interesting approach. I have been planning to solve this problem by adding a :TaskWikiEdit command, so the workflow would be to add the task, save it, and run the edit command, which allows you to add/edit any attribute.

This, however, seems more straightforward, I like it. I'll try to do my best to make both approaches work.

The probem with this, however, is the following:

• all new tasks entered manually will have the metadata saved and concealed
• the tasks generated by the viewport would not

This introduces a inconsistency. If we wanted to fix it, we would have to make it configurable (per viewport) what kinds of metadata is to be shown in the tasks generated, which complicates the feature a lot, and is quite close to the taskwiki templating proposal.

Therefore I think we should accept the modstring, but not conceal it - we should make it disappear after applying the changes.

To verify that the changes have been applied, user can just toggle the :TaskWikiInfo command.
