This script refreshes the category membership counts stored in the category
table. As time passes, these counts often drift from the actual number of
category members. The script identifies rows where the value in the category
table does not match the number of categorylinks rows for that category, and
updates the category table accordingly.
 
To fully refresh the data in the category table, you need to run this script
three times: once in each mode. Alternatively, just one mode can be run if
required.
