The retrieval of a task text for $item and associated error handling so far was scattered around the individual actions. This is now consolidated in two new utility functions, which directly set $todo or $newtodo, respectively. (Inconsistent variable names like $NEWTODO have been adapted.) This ensures that all actions perform the same error checking, reduces a bit of duplication, and allows custom add-ons to benefit from these exported functions. Ah, and the error messages for the "move" action is now more in line with the other errors; unfortunately, this isn't yet covered by a test. Note that the check whether $item is numeric must not use the +([0-9]) extglob any more, as such functions cannot be exported; a new Bash doesn't have the "shopt -s extglob" and complains with a syntax error. Fortunately, it is possible to perform the same check via standard Bash mechanisms.
