Carry over isolated items #350

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use weekly journals and put the TODO items for the week on top, before the day-specific headlines, like this:

* TODO Finish a project
* Wednesday, 19/05/21
  Entries...

Describe the solution you'd like Carry over top-level TODOs as well, on top of the next file.

Describe alternatives you've considered Put them under specific days, but that sorta defeats the purpose.

Amendment: If I create a TODO in-line, I would like only the TODO-item to be carried over without any parent headlines.

Maybe both of these could be implemented through a customization option: org-journal-carryover-isolated If it is enabled, instead of carrying over entries, org-journal scans the whole old journal file and carries over the specific headlines (with their subitems) that match org-journal-carryover-items.

Thank you for your bug report. Sadly, I currently don't have the time to look into this. If anyone else does, pull requests are welcome.
