  Changed paths:
    M lib/vector/Vlib/ascii.c
    A vector/v.in.ascii/tests/conftest.py
    A vector/v.in.ascii/tests/v_in_ascii_categories_test.py

  Log Message:
  -----------
  lib/vector: Reject out of range categories when reading ASCII (#7844)

Vect_read_ascii() passed the layer and category straight to
Vect_cat_set(), whose own range check is commented out, so a value outside
the documented 1 - GV_CAT_MAX range was stored and only caused trouble
later. A point carrying a negative category was skipped by v.out.ogr
without -c and exported twice with it.

Reject the feature at import instead. Category 0 stays allowed, since OGR
layers use it.

Fixes #6563
