[O] [PATCH][BUG] org-capture-templates checkitem not working as expected

Dear Org users,

There's a bug with the checkitem type org-capture-templates.

To reproduce:

1) Choose an org file with the headline "Test list", e.g., execute:
   $ cat > ~/org-capture-bugreport.org
   * Test list [/]
   ^C
2) Add the following two templates to your org-capture-templates:
         ("b" "Demonstrate a bug in capture templates" checkitem (file
"~/org-capture-bugreport.org" "Test list")
              "there should be '[ ]' at the beginning of this item,
but there isn't." :immediate-finish t)
         ("v" "Demonstrate a bug in capture templates" checkitem (file
"~/org-capture-bugreport.org" "Test list")
              "[ ] This is how it should behave" :immediate-finish t)
3) org-capture b and org-capture v

I expected the 'b' option to add a checkbox item under "Test list",
but instead it only adds an item. The 'v' option behaves as I expect
from 'b', but I had to add the checkbox manually.

Below is a patch fixing this issue. (This is my first patch to Org, I'm
happy to fix any mistakes.

Yours,
Ohad.

Subject: [PATCH] org-capture.el: Implemented checkitem capture type

org-capture.el (org-capture-place-item): Add check-box if appropriate.

Pre-patch, the checkitem and item types behave exactly the same,
rather than inserting a checkbox.

Fix by Simon Castellan and Ohad Kammar.
