Allen Houchins 0703dc5e35 Add 2 new app categories: 🔐 Security and 🛠️ Utilities (#37098)
This pull request adds support for two new software categories,
"Security" and "Utilities", across the application. The changes ensure
these categories are available in the database, frontend type
definitions, UI elements, documentation, and are fully tested in both
migration and integration test suites.

**Database and Migration Updates:**
* Added "Security" and "Utilities" entries to the `software_categories`
table and updated initial data in `schema.sql`.
* Introduced a new migration
(`20251210000000_AddSecurityAndUtilitiesCategories.go`) to insert/remove
these categories, with an accompanying test to verify migration
behavior.
