Fix TaskBuilder parameters not sent to API

- Add createTaskWrapper and updateTaskWrapper structs to wrap request
  bodies in nested JSON format expected by Checkvist API
- Change JSON tag from "due" to "due_date" as required by API
- Update DueDate constants to use valid Checkvist smart syntax values
  (^Today, ^Tomorrow, ^ASAP, ^Monday)
- Update tests to verify nested format and correct field names

Fixes checkvist-api-a5b
