Remarks
Unlike the method that obtains categories by name, this routine will obtain
the handle even of built-in subcategories.
Since 2016 it is advised to use either
[!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::Category::GetCategory(Document,BuiltInCategory)]
or
[!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::Category::GetCategory(Document,ElementId)]
method from Category class.
