W7001 warning

todo() in a release build

area: debugging (x7xxx)
fails the build: with --deny-warnings

A release build (a profile with debug = false) still contains todo() from wowlua:debug. todo is kept in every build and raises "not implemented" when it runs, so players would hit the error. wowlua build --release and wowlua check --release report it; the example turns debug off for the dev profile so that wowlua check sees it.

Write the missing code before releasing.
