feat: advertise 'All Categories' from cog_categories()

A reserved value nobody can discover is a trap, and this is the view
the API's /categories endpoint is built from. Emitted for the two flow
vocabularies only -- cog_balances() returns a stock and has no concept
to sum within.

Also fix test-categories.R to exclude pseudo-category rows from
crosswalk-specific assertions (one row per (category, subtype) pair,
non-empty item_codes, valid subtypes).
