[Feature] Custom user-definable categories for favorites.

[Katniss218]

Describe the solution you'd like
My vision is that the favorites panel would be separated by empty spaces about 2x the item's height. In this space would be a text that you can edit by pressing on it (?) (like any input field). Next to the text would be a "Delete Category" [-] button.

Alternatively, the entire panel could be paginated, and categories would switch between different sets of panels (that solution doesn't seem very intuitive).

Underneath all categories would be a section for uncategorized items (favs go here by default(?)). Items from deleted categories could also go here. An "Add Category" [+] button could also be here, under all the categories. Alternatively it could appear above all favorites.

We'd also need a way to move items between categories. This could be achieved in one of two ways.

• Either on right-click instead of giving the item to the player, it'd pop up a menu with categories to move the favorite to,
• or, a drag-and-drop method could be implemented (this could also be used for reordering favorites).

Additional context
This would probably be useful for mapmakers, who have a lot of custom items on their maps. Or maybe even for server owners. A nice place to keep every custom item handy and organized.

In case we get the extended "manage existing favorite item" context menu from #953, we could simplify the add/delete category button to a "Begin Category" string option of the favo entry. If it's non-empty, it starts a category by that name.

For UI, "starts a category" could mean to insert a headline like the ones used in the "+" menu ("Game Mode", "Weather", "Time"). Ideally, clicking that headline would toggle whether entries in this category are shown.

My hope is that if we make "Begin Category" a string property of the entry, the "move between categories" can be done with the existing drag-and-drop re-ordering, rather than requiring new code.
