Please create wine-msxml and wine-setupapi components in bugzilla

Bugzilla currently lacks categories for several important
parts of wine.  This is natural - nothing's perfect.
Rather than fix this all at one go, let's just add categories
as we find we need them.

I propose adding categories for msxml and setupapi now.
Here are bugzilla queries that find quite a few bugs that
are candidates for moving into those categories:

http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=msxml&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW

http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=setupapi&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED

I think they show enough hits to make the categories worth it.
IIRC, James Hawkins has said he thinks we need a setupapi
category, so I'm not alone in this.

The categories might help shake loose bugs like
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2223
which have patches associated with them but haven't
gotten any attention.

The MSXML category will help me as I dredge together projects
for cs130 to focus on...

So, what does it take to create a new category?  Can the admin just do it?
We can move the appropriate bugs over to the new categories later.

Thanks,
Dan
