Renames `aliases/available/todo.txt-cli.aliases.bash` to
`aliases/available/todo.aliases.bash` to match the naming convention
expected by the interactive install script.
**Problem:**
The install script in `_bash-it-install-enable()` (install.sh:26) parses
alias filenames using the pattern:
```bash
just_the_name="${file_name%".${file_type}.bash"}"
```
This expects: `{name}.aliases.bash` → extracts `{name}`
But the file was named `todo.txt-cli.aliases.bash`, which when stripped
of `.aliases.bash` leaves `todo.txt-cli`, causing the install script
to fail to recognize it during interactive installation.
**Solution:**
Rename to `todo.aliases.bash` to match the convention used by:
- `todo.plugin.bash` ✅
- `todo.completion.bash` ✅
Now extracts correctly: `todo.aliases.bash` → `todo`
**Notes:**
- File content unchanged - already uses `$TODO` variable correctly
- These are thin wrappers for the external todo.txt-cli tool
- Users install todo.txt-cli separately: `brew install todo-txt`
- Official upstream: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli
