Filter category members from interface scope (#55899)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #55899

Doxygen incorrectly merges category members into the base interface XML output.
This causes duplicate members to appear in both the category scope and the interface scope.

The fix detects category members by checking if their definition contains the pattern
`ClassName(CategoryName)::` (e.g., `RCTBridgeProxy(Cxx)::cxxOnlyProperty`) and filters
them out when processing interface sections.
