[PATCH v2] iio: todo: fix typo and refine resource management items

[Sanjay Chitroda]

From: Sanjay Chitroda <sanjayembeddedse@gmail.com>

Fix a typo in the staging documentation path and adjust formatting of
existing entries for readability.

Add TODO items to track conversion of selected drivers to device managed
resource APIs and evaluate usage of cleanup.h helpers for simplifying
resource management.

These updates aim to better reflect ongoing cleanup efforts within the
IIO subsystem.

Applied to the testing branch of iio.git
