TW-311: Estimated completion in burndown.daily shows impossible results

- Thanks to Michele Santullo.
- Although TW-311 references impossible results, there are two problems.
  First there is the algorithm that determines estimateѕ completion, and
  second there is the reference to wait dates. The algorithm has been replaced
  by something better, but wait dates have nothing to do with estimation.
- The 'burndown.bias' configuration setting is removed.
- The estimated completion is based on the net completion rate since the
  high water mark of total pending tasks, measured on a daily basis, regardless
  of the type of chart produced.
- Vim syntax updated.
- Docs updated.

.B burndown.bias=0.666
The burndown bias is a number that lies within the range 0 <= bias <= 1. The bias
is the fraction of the find/fix rates derived from the short-term data (last
25% of the report) versus the longer term data (last 50% of the report). A
value of 0.666 (the default) means that the short-term rate has twice the weight
of the longer-term rate. The calculation is as follows:
rate = (long-term-rate * (1 - bias)) + (short-term-rate * bias)
