Creates a new todo checklist item for a library component item.

**What are Todos?**
Todos are checklist items used to track actionable tasks within component items. They are perfect for:
- Recurring processes (tests, approvals, installation steps)
- Quality control checkpoints
- Project preparation steps
- Final checks before go-live

Each todo can be checked off individually, supports comments, and tracks completion status. Todos can be attached to Work Packages or Todo List items.

Description accepts HTML or Markdown format and is converted to IDoc for storage. Only library component items (component.projectId is null) are accessible.
