Converts the the OneNote 'notes' UDA from TaskWarrior 5.1 and prior format to
TaskWarrior 5.2 and beyond format.

This script requires the jq binary be in your path.

CAVEATS:

BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST!!!

This is a one-way operation, and if there are issues, well, you should really
have a backup.

By default, this converts all tasks, including completed/deleted.
