Summary of Changes

Currently the category save is using it's own saving implementation, but is reusing a lot of code from the default Joomla! saving method. This leads to heavily outdated code in the CategoryModel

This PR keeps the category specific stuff in the category models but is using the AdminModel saving method for the similar steps.
