Don't check on category

A patch was added awhile ago which was a quick fix but not the correct
one:

* fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi:
Removed merge of not useful key info.category=portable_audio_player.
This merge breakes the storage policy and prevent mount of USB storage
players. See bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=113966
The real fix was to change the storage policy to match on capabilities
and not category. Attached is a patch which does this. As for the
merge of info.category I propose that we nuke this for every device and
only rely on capabilities. It gets confusing and I can see apps in the
future running into a bug like this.
