ENH: Allow listpri filtering with priority ranges.

So far, the listpri action only supports a single priority. Allowing priority ranges (e.g. todo.sh listpri A-C @work) is a simple but useful enhancement.

Note: The syntax extension only clashes with the [TERM] filtering in a few corner cases, and this can be worked around (e.g. "todo.sh listpri A-Z A-Z" lists all prioritized tasks containing the text A-Z).
