feat(create-cli): add categories codegen

[hanna-skryl]

Categories support has been added to the setup wizard's code generation. Plugins can now specify categories in their PluginCodegenResult, which are collected and displayed in the generated configuration. The categories block is skipped when no plugin provides categories, so the existing behavior remains unchanged.

This update is a prerequisite for plugin bindings that need to generate categories along with their plugin configuration.
