marcus 0517241ee5 feat(tasks): implement clear_due_date via FiZ \$empty sentinel (v0.4.16)

The Family Wall API (FiZ framework) uses the special string "\$empty"
to clear optional date fields. Sending dueDate=\$empty to taskupdate2
reliably removes the due date (verified via direct API probing).

- update_task(clear_due_date=True) now sends dueDate=\$empty instead
  of returning an error
- Remove the "not supported" limitation message from the docstring
- Update SPEC.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md to document the discovery
- Bump version to 0.4.16
