>Summary: category.py breaks articles with includeonly and noinclude

Initial Comment:
This is a DEADLY bug that wrecks wiki structure.

I ran "python category.py" to rename one category to another. For articles containing <includeonly> and <noinclude> statements, pywikipedia made incorrect changes.  When renaming category B to category C, the text:

<includeonly>[[Category:A]]</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:B]]</noinclude>

becomes:

<includeonly></includeonly><noinclude></noinclude>
[[Category:C]]

In other words, it completely removed category A, and when renaming category B, placed the new category tag outside the noinclude tags.

This wrecked a complicated category structure.
