Rename "Game engines" to "Game Development"

See #1598 for the discussion.

Ah, changing the slug means that we have to make some changes on the production database as well...

So, we cannot merge the change as is. Renaming "Game Engines" to "Game Development" makes sense though.

Would it be better to just add a new slug? I think it may be confusing if developers still have to add the "game-engine" slug to their Cargo.toml even though the category has been renamed.

I think it'd be even more confusing to have a separate "Game Development" category ("Game Engines" aren't for "Game Development"?). We definitely can't just change the slug though, even if we updated the existing data we'd unlist all existing crates when they published a new version.

We should probably have some form of migration strategy here rather than just assuming we'll always get categories exactly right the first time. We'll likely need to add some form of aliases field to categories and use that for lookup as well on publish. I agree with @jtgeibel that it'd be confusing to change the display name by itself.

Sorry, I wasn't aware the impact of this change.

Game Engines are for Game Development, but the description ("Crates for creating games.") and the existing creates are more aligned with "Game Development". Game engines usually refer full-fledged frameworks such as Unity and/or Unreal Engine.

We already have a few categories that are the subset of the existing categories, such as Algorithms vs. Compression. I think having separate "Game Engine" is okay, while we may ask the Rust community to migrate their crates from Game Engine to Game Development though.

Having aliases doesn't need this community effort, but adds some complexity on the crates.io.

What do you think?

I'm sorry we've let this sit so long without feedback!

I think adding a new "Game development" category with a description that it's for not-engines and adjusting the description for "Game engines" so that it's clear what belongs there vs. "Game development" would be a good path forward.

Thanks. Will update the TOML soon.
