Priority is lost when adding via mit

[kodermike]

Rule 1 of the todo-txt format: if Priority exists, it always appears first [https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-cli/wiki/the-todo.txt-format]. This is true when displaying via mit, but adding with mit treats priority as just part of the text blob, effectively losing priority and making priority no longer appearing first. The following diff (done horribly, but hey, it works :) ) will preserve priority when adding with mit enabled. FWIW, I am using the -t and -n options when using todo-cli.
