Update the TODO and WORK_IN_PROGRESS files.

Update the TODO and WORK_IN_PROGRESS files.

Don't give the impression that we might support user-defined operators at
some point in the future; this is not likely to happen.

compiler/notes/todo:
	Remove some things that have now been implemented from the todo list.

	Remove user-defined operators from the wishlist.

compiler/notes/work_in_progress.html:
	Remove the Java backend and lco from the list of work-in-progress.

doc/transition_guide.texi:
	Don't give the impression that Mercury might support user-defined
	operators.
