      Description

      In branch improvement/JAL-3394_added_categories_to_unix_shell_installer_desktop_file

      I've added configuration that goes from gradle.properties
      install4j_unix_desktop_additions = Categories=Science;Biology;Java;

      and ends up in the unix/linux installation Jalview.desktop file as
      Categories=Science;Biology;Java;

      This (if your unix desktop supports it) puts Jalview into the appropriate application grouping in your desktop menu. E.g. in kubuntu this ends up in
      Applications -> Science & Maths -> Jalview

      The string values chosen are standardised as can be seen in the link in the comment https://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-3394?focusedCommentId=23288&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-23288
