* Documentation: Clarify basic regexp syntax of TERM in todo.sh list

Issue raised by https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli/discussions/334

* Documentation: Correct quoting in todo.sh help list

TERM(s) are grep-style basic regular expressions; for literal matching,
put a single backslash before any [ ] \ $ * . ^ and enclose the entire
TERM in single quotes, or use double backslashes and extra shell-quoting.
If no TERM specified, lists entire todo.txt.
