docs: Remove the Todo.md file

The Todo.md file has gotten stale, and it is no longer an effective
mechanism for tracking changes.  Remove it.

There are several features still to be implemented in Klipper. In no
particular order:
Host user interaction
=====================
* See if there is a better way to report errors. Octoprint sometimes
doesn't highlight an error (one has to look in the terminal tab to
find the error) and errors written to the log can be non-obvious to
a user.
* Improve gcode interface:
* Provide a way to temporarily disable endstop checks so that a user
can issue commands that potentially move the head past
position_min/position_max.
* Improve logging:
* Possibly collate and report the statistics messages in the log in a
more friendly way.
* Possibly support a mechanism for the host to limit maximum velocity
so that the mcu is never requested to step at a higher rate than it
can support.
Safety features
===============
* Support loading a valid step range into the micro-controller
software after homing. This would provide a sanity check in the
micro-controller that would reduce the risk of the host commanding a
stepper motor past its valid step range. To maintain high
efficiency, the micro-controller would only need to check
periodically (eg, every 100ms) that the stepper is in range.
* Possibly support periodically querying the endstop switches and use
multiple step ranges depending on the switch state. This would
enable runtime endstop detection. (However, it's unclear if runtime
endstop detection is a good idea because of spurious signals caused
by electrical noise.)
Testing features
================
* Complete the host based simulator. It's possible to compile the
micro-controller for a "host simulator", but that simulator doesn't
do anything currently. It would be useful to expand the code to
support more error checks, kinematic simulations, and improved
logging.
Documentation
=============
* Add documentation describing how to perform bed-leveling accurately
in Klipper. Improve description of stepper phase based bed leveling.
Hardware features
=================
* Support for additional kinematics: scara, etc.
Misc features
=============
* Possibly support a "feed forward PID" that takes into account the
amount of plastic being extruded. If the extrude rate changes
significantly during a print it can cause heating bumps that the PID
overcompensates for. The temperature change due to the extrusion
rate could be modeled to eliminate these bumps and make the
extrusion temperature more consistent.
