Rémi Verschelde 2d20fc39aa doc: Drop unused 'category' property from header
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.

Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.

We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.

Plugin for adding custom property editors on inspector.
</brief_description>
<description>
This plugins allows adding custom property editors to [EditorInspector].
Plugins are registered via [method EditorPlugin.add_inspector_plugin].
When an object is edited, the [method can_handle] function is called and must return [code]true[/code] if the object type is supported.
If supported, the function [method parse_begin] will be called, allowing to place custom controls at the beginning of the class.
Subsequently, the [method parse_category] and [method parse_property] are called for every category and property. They offer the ability to add custom controls to the inspector too.
Finally [method parse_end] will be called.
On each of these calls, the "add" functions can be called.
