Summary0020198: Deleting category should be blocked if category has issues associated with it
Description

When we delete a category, we change issues that are associated with the category to have category id 0 which translates to no-category. There is no way to filter on such category to move it to another one later.

I wonder if we should use the same model we use when moving an issue to a project that doesn't have the category defined, where we use 'default_category_for_moves'. In this case, the config name is not descriptive, so we can re-use, or add another config.

Thoughts?

Wouldn't it make more sense to simply prevent deletion of a category that has issues associated to it ?

I don't really like the idea of updating issues' category without a conscious decision to do so by the user.

Anything would be better than the current behaviour. I deleted a category and now I cannot filter by issues which do not have a category.

I've updated the issue title to reflect the new approach which is to block the category delete operation.
