In bug 968312 Mathieu pulled all the category names out of the database and put them into the .po files.  This makes our queries simpler and means that localizers can just do everything all in one place instead of trying to use the web interface for categories.

Along with this bug we can actually remove all the L10n groups, all the translations for categories in the db, and the entirety of the Localizer Tools (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/localizers/) on AMO.

This bug should definitely include the script that pre-populates the category names from the database into the .po's.
Note that I never implemented bug 987880 in Marketplace. The ground work is done, and in particular Fireplace does not use the API to fetch categories anymore, but we aren't completely done and therefore still have categories in the database in Marketplace at the moment.

Let's leave the data in db until we decide if we need categories, but Chris, can you remove the just the HTML pages at /localizers/.
Iteration: --- → 46.2 - Jan 11
All /localizers/ pages are now removed and will be pushed on 28th. Removing categories is a bit more work but is possible but let's do that some time later I think
