Remove priority when task marked as complete

[anthonyesau]

Much appreciation for this extension. Thanks for the time and effort you've put into it!

An item for consideration: Would it be possible to remove the priority of tasks when they are marked complete using the Toggle Task Completion command? Swiftodo, another todo.txt manager, doesn't recognize tasks as complete when the priority follows the initial x. The spec at todotxt/todo.txt: ‼️ A complete primer on the whys and hows of todo.txt. also says that "The date of completion appears directly after the x, separated by a space." So it sounds like removing the priority would be the more standard behavior.

An example

Original incomplete task
(A) 2020-09-29 Reply to email from Jim

Current result from toggling task completion
x (A) 2020-10-01 2020-09-29 Reply to email from Jim

Desired result
x 2020-10-01 2020-09-29 Reply to email from Jim

I think that makes sense. I have a few queued up changes to the extension that I need to knock out so I can look to include this in that update. The one side-effect of such a change is that if you "toggle" a prioritized task to completed and then uncompleted, you'd lose the original priority (without preserving it somehow such as tacking on a pri:A tag which I find a little messy).
