linter: Mark 'errors'-related rules with finer-grained categories

Work towards https://github.com/dart-lang/linter/issues/4991

Here I just take all of the existing rules marked with
`Category.errors` (which are not removed or deprecated), and re-examine
what category or categories they fall into.

I add new categories:

* "binary size" (not super accurate for JS-compile apps, but "binary"
  is still a common industry term for the JS app that is delivered to
  the browser)
* "documentation comment maintenance"
* "error-prone"
* "language feature usage"
* "memory leaks" (note, different from "binary size"; mostly
   memory-leak related but may contain other things?)
* "non-performant"
* "unintentional"
* "unused code"

For multiple rules, I considered adding a "best practices" category
too, but this also seems tragically vague. But for rules like
"control_flow_in_finally", "avoid_catches_without_on_clauses", etc.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
