Expand all Text for Checking Hidden Categories

An example of this issue is [1] which has a template that actually adds the _HIDDEN_ keyword. The other change proposed here is not to use regular expressions for that match, it is pointless.

We still search for the _HIDDEN_ keyword because newly created empty categories do not show up in the category table, and thus are not returned by the API (bug #48824)
