Let a tasks widget merge multiple task lists, checkbox+color like calendar

Tasks widgets could only ever point at one CalDAV task list (a radio-
button picker, owner-only). Now they merge any number of included task
lists across every linked user, same checkbox-inclusion + optional
pinned-color shape a calendar widget already has for its calendars --
FrameTaskList mirrors FrameCalendar exactly, down to the same owner-
adds/anyone-mutes permission split (api_widget_task_list_select/
api_widget_task_list_color). Reused calendar_render._event_colors/
_draw_color_bar as-is for the per-task color bar -- a task dict's
owner_display_name/color_index is exactly that function's single-
source fallback shape.

Also added an opt-in "show tasks completed in the last 24 hours"
toggle (TaskWidgetConfig.show_completed): caldav_client.fetch_tasks
now accepts a completed_since cutoff and returns completed VTODOs
(with their completion time) instead of silently dropping them, and
_draw_tasks gives a completed task a filled checkbox + muted text
instead of the normal empty-box/due-date row.

Migration 18 splits the single-source TaskWidgetConfig columns
(added by 17, splitting tasks out of the calendar widget in the first
place) into frame_task_lists, carrying forward each widget's existing
single source as its first included list -- same shape migration 9
used carrying forward frame_calendars' old single opt-in.

Verified live in the browser (desktop + mobile): the new "Included
task lists" + "Recently completed" dialog sections, the show_completed
toggle actually persisting through a real HTTP round-trip, and no
regression in the calendar widget's own "Included calendars" dialog.
Full suite (192 tests, including new merge_tasks/config_save/migration
coverage) passes.
