fix: Always assign DEFAULT_CATEGORY

Browse source 
PR #3589 tied category assignment to `CATEGORY_SAVE_AS`, so disabling
category pages also removed article categories and broke `{category}`
in URL patterns (#3596). PR #3597 restored folder-based categories, but
articles outside a subfolder still lost `DEFAULT_CATEGORY`. This change
assigns it again, so `CATEGORY_SAVE_AS` only controls whether category
pages are generated. Setting `DEFAULT_CATEGORY = None` is now the
documented way to have no categories.

This also stops the Simple and NotMyIdea themes from linking to category
pages that don't exist.
