#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.
