patch against trunk (r14404)

Attached you will find a patch with following changes:

1. Link [[Special:Categories]] in Skin.php is now set by a message

'categorybarlink' and thereby customizable in [[Special:Allmessages]] if
wanted.

2. The message 'categories' until now was twice used by Skin.php (see above)

and [[Special:Categories]] (displayed as page title). Now it is possible to
localize it better then before because there are no more dependencies. When
changed to "All categories" f.e. it is analogue to 'allpages' (All pages) and
looks better in the list on [[Special:Specialpages]].

This patch introduces the following new messages:
'categorybartext' (cloned from 'categories')
'categorybarlink' (should be localized only by Special:Allmessages)
'categorybar' (should not be localized)

I changed the priority to 'High', because this is an important issue for several
years, and there is already a patch made some months ago.

On category pages in big wikis it is linking to a page with only the first 50
categories from thousands of categories. So most visitors are directed to a
useless page when they are searching for other categories.

In my opinion the best page to link it to is the root category. On most wikis
you can find there an index and other info about the category system.
