fix(diff): preserve due/rec when absent from buffer line

Problem: `diff.apply` overwrites `task.due` and `task.recur` with `nil`
whenever those fields aren't present as inline tokens in the buffer line.
Because metadata is rendered as virtual text (never in the line text),
every description edit silently clears due dates and recurrence rules.

Solution: Only update `due`, `recur`, and `recur_mode` in the existing-
task branch when the parsed entry actually contains them (non-nil). Users
can still set/change these inline by typing `due:<date>` or `rec:<rule>`;
clearing them requires `:Pending edit <id> -due`.
