chore: remove dead ISSUES.md system

Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.

- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead

The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.

The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.

Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.

Closes #56

<objective>
Review all open issues from ISSUES.md with current codebase context. Identify which issues are resolved (can close), which are now urgent (should address), and which can continue waiting.
This prevents issue pile-up by providing a triage mechanism with codebase awareness.

- Brief description
- Discovered phase/date
- Type (Performance/Refactoring/UX/Testing/Documentation/Accessibility)
- Description details
- Effort estimate
Build list of issues to analyze.
</step>
<step name="analyze">
**For each open issue, perform codebase analysis:**
1. **Check if still relevant:**
- Search codebase for related code/files mentioned in issue
- If code no longer exists or was significantly refactored: likely resolved
2. **Check if accidentally resolved:**
- Look for commits/changes that may have addressed this
- Check if the enhancement was implemented as part of other work
3. **Assess current urgency:**
- Is this blocking upcoming phases?
- Has this become a pain point mentioned in recent summaries?
- Is this now affecting code we're actively working on?
4. **Check natural fit:**
- Does this align with an upcoming phase in the roadmap?
- Would addressing it now touch the same files as current work?
**Categorize each issue:**
- **Resolved** - Can be closed (code changed, no longer applicable)
- **Urgent** - Should address before continuing (blocking or causing problems)
- **Natural fit** - Good candidate for upcoming phase X
- **Can wait** - Keep deferred, no change in status

**RULE 5: Log non-critical enhancements**
**Trigger:** Improvement that would enhance code but isn't essential now
**Action:** Add to .planning/ISSUES.md automatically, continue task
**Examples:**
- Performance optimization (works correctly, just slower than ideal)
- Code refactoring (works, but could be cleaner/DRY-er)
- Better naming (works, but variables could be clearer)
- Organizational improvements (works, but file structure could be better)
- Nice-to-have UX improvements (works, but could be smoother)
- Additional test coverage beyond basics (basics exist, could be more thorough)
- Documentation improvements (code works, docs could be better)
- Accessibility enhancements beyond minimum
**Process:**
1. Create .planning/ISSUES.md if doesn't exist (use `~/.claude/get-shit-done/templates/issues.md`)
