repo: move packages under their SBo category
Mirror SBo's own <category>/<package>/ layout instead of a flat <package>/ one. The category is now carried by the directory, so there's no separate map to maintain, and a package exports to the SBo repo at the identical relative path. misc: SecLists, exploitdb, nuclei games: UrbanTerror network: feroxbuster, ffuf, gobuster, metasploit-framework-bin, r8125 Categories taken from the synced SBo tree, which is authoritative. This also repairs two things the flat layout had broken: - test-build's category_of() returned "." for every package, since it derives the category from the parent directory name. - post-commit asserted a fixed depth. It now locates a build by the directory holding the .SlackBuild, and names the archive after the package with the package dir at the tarball root, as SBo expects. Drops the exec bit from SecLists.SlackBuild and gobuster.SlackBuild, flagged by sbolint once the pre-commit hook started running: SBo requires 0644 and ships both that way.

+r8125 is the out-of-tree Linux kernel driver for Realtek RTL8125 and
+RTL8125B 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers with PCI-Express interface.
+It provides complete 2.5Gbps support not available in the in-tree r8169
+driver for this hardware revision.
+
+The resulting package is specific to the kernel it was built against.
+You must rebuild this package whenever you upgrade your kernel.
+
+BUILDING
+--------
+To build for the currently running kernel:
+
+ ./r8125.SlackBuild
+
+To build for a different kernel (e.g. one you have just installed but
+not yet booted):
+
+ KERNEL=6.1.0 ./r8125.SlackBuild
+
+The KERNEL variable must match the directory name under /lib/modules/
+and the kernel build tree must exist at /lib/modules/$KERNEL/build.
+
+LOADING THE MODULE
+------------------
+After installing the package, load the driver without rebooting:
+
+ modprobe r8125
+
+To verify it loaded:
+
+ lsmod | grep r8125
+
+CONFLICT WITH r8169
+-------------------
+The in-tree r8169 driver may also bind to RTL8125 hardware. This package
+installs a blacklist file to prevent r8169 from loading:
+
+ /etc/modprobe.d/r8169_blacklist.conf
+
+If the file already exists and has been modified, the new version will
+be installed as r8169_blacklist.conf.new for you to review and merge.
+
+If r8169 is currently loaded, unload it before loading r8125:
+
+ modprobe -r r8169
+ modprobe r8125
+
+NVCHECKER
+---------
+An nvchecker configuration file is installed alongside this README at:
+
+ /usr/doc/r8125-VERSION/r8125.nvchecker
+
+nvchecker (https://github.com/lilydjwg/nvchecker) is a tool for checking
+new versions of software. Copy or include this file in your nvchecker
+configuration to be notified when Realtek publishes a new r8125 release.
