Draft: Merge Workspace group projects and subgroups categories together

Christina Lohr requested to merge 4648-manage-stage-category-review into main

Why is this change being made?

This MR merges the categories ~"Category:Subgroups" and ~"Category:Projects" into a single category, Subgroups and Projects. This is intended to help support the consolidation of categories across Manage as part of this issue.

As part of the namespace consolidation project, projects and groups are consolidated into one namespace object, and a lot of the ongoing work concerns both subgroups and projects. It makes sense to describe further development efforts in one place and on one direction page. Projects in particular did not have a direction of its own so far.

If we decide to rename projects and groups into something else (this has yet to be determined), it would then also be a simpler change if those two are already consolidated.
