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.

<brief_description>
Base script that can be used to add extension functions to the editor.
</brief_description>
<description>
Scripts extending this class and implementing its [method _run] method can be executed from the Script Editor's [b]File &gt; Run[/b] menu option (or by pressing [code]Ctrl+Shift+X[/code]) while the editor is running. This is useful for adding custom in-editor functionality to Godot. For more complex additions, consider using [EditorPlugin]s instead.
[b]Note:[/b] Extending scripts need to have [code]tool[/code] mode enabled.
[b]Example script:[/b]
[codeblock]
tool
extends EditorScript
func _run():
print("Hello from the Godot Editor!")
[/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] The script is run in the Editor context, which means the output is visible in the console window started with the Editor (stdout) instead of the usual Godot [b]Output[/b] dock.
