Remove trailing colon from task listing

[thejray]

This fixes bash autocompletion that fails by producing an extra colon at the end of completions. Note that there is a similar sed for colon removal already present in the zsh autocomplete

It also removes an unnecessary sed 's/^\* //' in favor of just using print $2 in the awk command.

How about using one awk command?

task -l  | awk 'NR > 1 { sub(/:$/, "", $2); print $2 }'

Or one sed ?

task -l  | sed -n '1d; s/^\* \([^ ]*\):.*/\1/p'

(These are not equivalent. The latter needs : to exist, the former does not.)

@iquiw I leave it up to the maintainers. The PR I have is a small delta to fix a specific bug, and I do not think performance matters here.
