PHPUnit: fix skipped Category tests

Incorrect check for a global default category caused some tests to be
skipped in:
- testDeleteCategoryReassignsIssues
- testProjectCategoryCannotDeleteDefault

Check was adjusted to also work when the default category is global.

Fix testDeleteCategoryReassignsIssues

PHPUnit was throwing an error, due to attempting to delete the category
created for the test twice (once as part of the test itself, and again
during tearDown).

1) Mantis\tests\soap\CategoryTest::testDeleteCategoryReassignsIssues
SoapFault: Error Type: APPLICATION ERROR 0001503,
Error Description: Category "soaptest_source_20260830_121111" not found
for project "PHPUnit".

Solved by not adding the category to categoryNamesToDelete.
