CategoryManager class helps retrieve and maintain
the list of categories and sub-categories existing in the system.
CategoryManager is a singleton class that acts as
the source of truth for listing the categories in the system. For
performance reasons, all application components should query the
CategoryManager instead of querying the server directly for
categories.
The CategoryManager caches the category and
sub-category and saves redundant server calls. The maintained lists
are auto-updated via LCDS server-push whenever a new category is
added or an existing category is updated locally or on remote clients.

| Runtime Versions: | AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 10.2 |
Fetches the categories from the backend server.
This method must be explicitly called at least once,
by the user application so as to let the CategoryManager
obtain the list of categories and sub-categories from the server.
Subsequent category updates or creations, either locally or remotely, are automatically pushed to the list properties.
