rootiest 4c51ef7a33 docs(functions): add # CATEGORY to documented function headers
Records each documented function's manual category in its own header, so
Section 5 can later be generated from source instead of hand-maintained
alongside it. Values reproduce the current grouping in
docs/manual/05-functions/ exactly; no documentation changes meaning here.

Four functions are skipped because they have no header at all yet
(branch, fc, gitup, sudo-toggle); they get one in the merge that follows.
