Callum Alpass 78cb270f89 docs: Restructure and streamline documentation for improved clarity
• Removed outdated/redundant docs files:
 – Deleted "docs/concepts-rationale.md" and "docs/creating-editing-tasks.md" which duplicated content now integrated into core-concepts and task management documentation.
 – Removed "docs/features/natural-language.md" and "docs/features/time-tracking.md" as their content has been merged or rephrased in other feature docs.
 – Deleted the legacy "docs/views/task-view.md" to avoid overlap with the new Task List View documentation.

• Revised core concept and feature documents:
 – Updated "docs/core-concepts.md" to better explain the “note-per-task” approach and YAML frontmatter benefits.
 – Streamlined "docs/features.md" and its subpages (Inline Task Integration, Calendar Integration, and the new Time Management doc) to reflect a unified, concise explanation of TaskNotes’ feature set.
 – Refined inline task, calendar, and settings docs (including advanced, inline task, and task defaults) for consistent language and structure.

• Introduced new documentation:
 – Added "docs/features/time-management.md" to clearly outline time tracking, Pomodoro timer, and productivity analytics.
 – Created "docs/views/task-list.md" to complement the suite of views now including Agenda, Kanban, Notes, Calendar, and Pomodoro views.

• General improvements:
 – Reworded and reorganized sections across multiple docs to enhance readability and better align with the new design philosophy.
 – Consolidated similar topics and removed duplicate descriptions to simplify the overall documentation structure.
 
These changes improve the organization, clarity, and maintainability of the TaskNotes documentation, making it easier for users to understand the core concepts and features.
