Barrett Ruth 530009d830 refactor(icons): unify category/header icon and use checkbox overlays
Problem: `header` and `category` were separate icons for the same
concept. The icon overlay replaced `[ ]` with a bare character,
hiding the markdown checkbox syntax. Header format `## ` produced
a double-space with single-char icons.

Solution: merge `header` into `category` (one icon for both header
lines and EOL labels). Overlay renders `[icon]` preserving bracket
syntax. Change header line format from `## ` to `# ` so the
2-char overlay (`# `) maps cleanly.

Icons

All display characters are configurable. Defaults produce markdown-style checkboxes ([ ], [x], [!]):

vim.g.pending = {
  icons = {
    pending = ' ', done = 'x', priority = '!',
    due = '.', recur = '~', category = '#',
  },
}

See :help pending.Icons for nerd font examples.
