Feedback here and on IRC seemed positive so I'm running this move right
now, using a slightly refined version of the above script. All pages
that are in the "Fedora_XX_(Alpha/Beta/Final)_(TC/RC)_Test_Results"
categories will be moved into
"Fedora_XX_(Alpha/Beta/Final)_Test_Results", the old category pages will
be made completely empty, and the new ones will be populated using this
template:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Validation_results_milestone_category

which is based on the text robatino uses these days when creating those
categories. I'm going to make relval create those category pages using
the same template when appropriate (TC1) in future, so everything should
remain consistent. yay consistency.
