Since 3.2.0, new site installs are missing the help screen index if you go to example.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_admin&view=help. This is because of ae3e37d in which the static files which generated the index being removed. Since these files weren't removed via the update script, sites updating from 3.1 or earlier still have this index.

To rectify this without adding back several dummy files, I've written a script which can fetch the index directly from our docs wiki and added support for this new index to com_admin. Essentially, this script fetches all pages from docs.joomla.org/Category:Help_screen_<version> and filters out all pages for which COM_ADMIN_HELP language strings do not exist (as this index only displays select views, not the entire category listing).

In order to fetch the data, a new method, getCategoryMembers() is added to JMediawikiCategories enabling support for this API endpoint.
