Categories Block Needs a Filter

[noumaan]

In the legacy Categories widget, users and developers were able to use the

widget_categories_args

filter to modify the results. For instance, they were able to exclude specific categories or display empty categories.

Would be nice if this filter could also be used by the new category block.
