Stu Leak f6729a07ea Clean up root folder and update TODO/DONE for dev19 
Root Folder Cleanup:
- Moved all documentation .md files to docs/ folder
- Kept only README.md, TODO.md, DONE.md in root
- Cleaner project structure for contributors
- Better organization of documentation

Files Moved to docs/:
- BUILD.md, BUILD_AND_RUN.md, CHANGELOG.md
- COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md, DVD_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md
- DVD_USER_GUIDE.md, INSTALLATION.md, INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md
- LATEST_UPDATES.md, QUEUE_SYSTEM_GUIDE.md, QUICKSTART.md
- TESTING_DEV13.md, TEST_DVD_CONVERSION.md, WINDOWS_SETUP.md

DONE.md Updates:
- Added dev19 section (2025-12-18)
- Documented history sidebar delete button
- Documented command preview improvements
- Documented format options reorganization
- Documented bitrate mode descriptive labels
- Documented critical bug fixes (Convert crash, log viewer)
- Documented bitrate control improvements

TODO.md Updates:
- Updated to dev19+ plan
- Added "Current Focus: dev19" section
- Added AI frame interpolation task (RIFE, FILM, DAIN, CAIN)
- Added color space preservation tasks
- Reorganized priority structure

This establishes dev19 as the current development focus on
Convert module cleanup and polish, with clear tracking of
completed work and upcoming priorities.
