TASK DESCRIPTION
  Hi, I noticed some issues in category_redirect.py 
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/pywikibot/core/+/HEAD/scripts/category_redirect.py>
 that need improvement:
  
  - Running `python pwb.py -simulate -family:wikipedia -lang:ckb 
category_redirect -category:"دیاردە سروشتییەکان"` currently triggers `Checking 
hard-redirect category pages.` However, since a specific category is provided, 
there is no need to check hard and soft redirects separately. The script should 
process the given category immediately, regardless of the redirect type.
  
  - The command above only moves subcategories but does not move articles. I 
have not tested file movements.
  
  - There should be an additional option to specify the type of redirects to 
process. A new optional argument, `-type:hard`, could be used to work only with 
hard redirects, and `-type:soft` for soft redirects. If the option is not 
provided, the script should continue handling both cases as it does currently, 
but If the `-type:` added to the script, we don't need `Continue with soft 
category redirects` prompt anymore.
  
  Would appreciate any improvements on this!
  
  Thanks!
