refactor: Replace doom-modeline with mood-line and remove deprecated tree-sitter

Method 2 improvements for cleaner, faster configuration:

1. **Replaced doom-modeline with mood-line** (modules/modeline-config.el)
   - Simplified from 70+ lines to ~10 lines (-40 lines net)
   - mood-line is lightweight, minimal, inspired by doom-modeline
   - Better performance with no dependencies
   - Keeps all essential features: buffer status, major mode, VCS,
     flycheck, cursor position, multiple-cursors counters

2. **Removed deprecated tree-sitter package** (modules/prog-general.el)
   - Deleted `(use-package tree-sitter)`
   - Now relies solely on Emacs 29+ built-in treesit with treesit-auto
   - treesit-auto continues to manage grammars automatically
   - No functionality lost, cleaner dependency tree

Both changes serve Method 2: "Stop Problems Before They Appear"
- Simpler code = fewer bugs
- Fewer dependencies = less maintenance
- Native features = better integration

Updated todo.org to mark both tasks complete [2/5 in Method 2].

 ;;; Commentary:
 
-;; Doom modeline configuration with performance optimizations.
+;; Minimal modeline configuration using mood-line.
 
-;; Settings prioritize speed while keeping essential information including:
-;; - relative file paths from project root
-;; - column number and percentage position
-;; - buffer modification indicators
-;; - and major mode with icon.
+;; mood-line is a lightweight, minimal modeline inspired by doom-modeline
+;; but with much better performance and simpler configuration.
 
-;; Disabled features for performance:
-;; - minor modes display
-;; - word count
-;; - encoding info
-;; - LSP information
-
-;; Performance tuning includes:
-;; - 0.75 second refresh rate
-;; - 1MB process output chunks
-;; - nerd-icons (faster than all-the-icons)
-;; - simplified checker format
-;; - limited VCS info length
+;; Features:
+;; - Buffer status and modification indicators
+;; - Major mode display
+;; - Version control status
+;; - Flycheck/Flymake status
+;; - Cursor position and buffer percentage
+;; - Anzu and multiple-cursors counters
+;; - No dependencies
+;; - Minimal performance overhead
