@codinghorror what is your call here?

1. **New site setting** for `allow moderators to create groups`

2. **Rename** `allow moderators to create categories` to `allow moderators to create groups and categories`

3. **Remove** `allow moderators to create categories` and just allow them to create categories and groups by default.

I am leaning towards 1 cause it is the least risk.
