Sam Saffron c05b617067 FIX: ensure_consistency was able to create corrupt category topics
- Correct create_category_definition to skip validations and use a
transaction, no longer able to create corrupt topics

- ensure_consistency now clears topic_id if pointing at deleted or missing
topic_id

- Stop creating category definition topics for uncategorized
