Revamp the TODO list

The primary thing here is a sorted list of everything we want to
complete before a feature freeze, (which we're doing one weekend
before MH 2021 and will be followed by some test hunt over the weekend
both to flush out bugs and to get more of the team comfortable with
Turbot).

+• Rename puzzle creation command from /puzzle to /puzzle new

+• Add "meta" as a checkbox field on puzzle creation/edit

+• Add /tag to add/remove tags (will force to all caps and store as a
+  prefix as part of the state string for now)
+
+  Specifically, this should be "/tag TAG_NAME" or "/tag +TAG_NAME" to
+  add a tag and "/tag -TAG_NAME" to remove a tag.

 Round management
 ----------------
 
-• Add a /round command which is identical to /hunt except that it acts
-  on only the puzzles in the same round(s) as the current puzzle.
-
 • Select round fields by default based on the round of the puzzle for
   the channel in which `/puzzle` is invoked.
 
 • Consider putting a round prefix into the channel name to group a
   round's puzzles in the channel list.
 
-Meta-puzzle support

-• Figure out a good mechanism for linking puzzles to a meta-puzzle
-  that they feed into. Is this different or the same as the round
