XMLRPC should implement a method for deleting categories

Description

The wp.newCategory method is a great addition to the remote API. But it seems like it's missing its counterpart: wp.deleteCategory, or some similarly named method.

I've also been wondering whether it would have been a good idea to make the "newCategory" method a plural? If we were dealing in wp.newCategories and wp.deleteCategories it would reduce the number of separate network requests that are required when multiples are being manipulated.

+1, triple-check the SQL and escaping.

The attached diff adds a new method, wp.deleteCategory(blog_id, username, password, category_id). Will return a 0 (zero) or a 1.

Forgot the mention, this contains a small clean up item for wp.newCategory as well.

Joe Cheng brought up a good point, when a category that is deleted has children be aware that all of the children will be bumped up a level.
