TimeTracker/docs/README.md
Dries Peeters 0c28b80346 docs: Add comprehensive features documentation and update READMEs 
Create complete features overview documenting all 120+ features across
12 major categories, and update main README and docs README with
enhanced feature descriptions and links.

Changes:
- Add docs/FEATURES_COMPLETE.md with comprehensive feature documentation
  covering all features organized by category (Time Tracking, Project
  Management, Task Management, Client Management, Invoicing, Financial
  Management, Reporting & Analytics, User Management & Security,
  Productivity Features, Administration, Integration & API, Technical)
- Update README.md:
  - Add reference to complete features documentation
  - Expand feature descriptions with additional features (Focus Sessions,
    Recurring Time Blocks, Budget Alerts, Weekly Goals, etc.)
  - Enhance feature descriptions with more detail
- Update docs/README.md:
  - Add "Complete Features Reference" section at top
  - Reorganize feature documentation into logical groups
  - Add links to additional feature docs (Payment Tracking, Budget
    Alerts, Weekly Goals, etc.)

This provides users with a single comprehensive reference for all
available features while maintaining the quick overview in the main
README. The documentation is now better organized and more discoverable.
