Split transactions repair tool to remove categories from parent transactions + prevent adding/updating parent transactions with categories

[joel-jeremy]

This fixes an issue where an existing parent transaction is still set to a category and you cannot delete the category due to it being used by a parent transaction. This tool removes those categories from parent transactions so users can delete.

Without this tool, the way to fix the issue it to:

1. Find which parent transaction is using the category you want to delete (by exporting the DB and querying)
2. Recreate the split transaction and make sure parent transaction is not set to any category (best to not set category before splitting)
3. Delete the original split transaction
4. Delete the category

This PR will also prevent future split transactions from setting the category on any parent transactions.
