Description

Support was recently added for Warning.warn to accept a category keyword. However, the initial implementation was limited to having rb_warn_deprecated and rb_warn_deprecated_to_remove use the :deprecated value for the category keyword.

It doesn't make sense to me to have a category keyword if it is only used for deprecation, so I propose we extend the support so that Kernel#warn accepts a category keyword (for Ruby-level warnings) and rb_category_warn and rb_category_warning functions be added to the C-API (for C-level warnings). I also propose that we change existing rb_warn and rb_warning calls to rb_category_warn and rb_category_warning, so that all warnings issued by core Ruby are issued with an appropriate category.

I have implemented support for this in a pull request: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3508
