#64778: break up large categories into smaller ones

-------------------------+--------------------
 Currently, when trying to view some directories in the macports-ports
 repository on GitHub, it is impossible to view all the entries in some of
 the categories, due to the categories being too large. These are the
 messages displayed:

 devel:
 {{{
 Sorry, we had to truncate this directory to 1,000 files. 222 entries were
 omitted from the list.
 }}}

 perl:
 {{{
 Sorry, we had to truncate this directory to 1,000 files. 869 entries were
 omitted from the list.
 }}}

 python:
 {{{
 Sorry, we had to truncate this directory to 1,000 files. 1,039 entries
 were omitted from the list.
 }}}

 For categories to be useful, they ought to contain reasonable numbers of
 entries, IMO, which, to me, implies that the devel, perl, and python
 categories ought to be broken up. Besides helping people browsing the
 repository on GitHub, this would also help port discoverability. I'll
 attach screenshots.
