Factorio 2.1 renamed the prototype field fuel_category (string)
to fuel_categories (array). Reading the old key now throws
instead of returning nil.

Error in game:
LuaItemPrototype doesn't contain key fuel_category

The mod still uses fuel_category in 6 places:

scripts/setup.lua:49
:groupBy(function(k,v) return v.fuel_category end)

scripts/setup.lua:297
if not defaultTrash[name] and item.fuel_category then

scripts/helpers.lua:63
if prototype.fuel_category then ...

scripts/cleanup.lua:267
entity.burner.fuel_inventory.get_item_count(
item.name) > 0 and prototype.fuel_category

scripts/drag.lua:315
(same pattern as cleanup.lua)

scripts/helpers/LuaControl.lua:169
storage.fuelList[prototype.fuel_category]

Suggested fix:
local fc = prototype.fuel_categories
if fc == nil or fc[1] == nil then return nil end
local category = fc[1]

Tested on: Factorio 2.1.24 (build 87808), space-age, ~240 mods.
Works after applying the above change, so this is the only blocker.

While simply renaming it prevents the crash, it can interfere with fuel distribution using Ctrl + Drag and Shift + C.
