Two issues addressed: 1. Require icon selection when style type is "icon" - p…reviously the new category interface allowed creating categories without an icon, unlike the old interface which required one. https://meta.discourse.org/t/395223 2. Reset security settings when navigating from edit to new category - the categoryVisibilityState was being reused across different categories, causing the security tab to show the previous category's settings. https://meta.discourse.org/t/395224
