Fix org-meta-return for checkbox lists

Hello,

Currently if you do M-RET in a checkbox list item, the next item does not
become a checkbox automatically. This patch fixes that.

I have been using this fix locally for few months. But never got to
submitting it as I need to yet write a test for it.

Does that patch look good (apart from missing tests). Should I format it
w.r.t to next? or master?

Thanks.
