Description

As requested in https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-all-the-categories/

In the category dropdown, it only shows categories that have an active/unexpired job listing. We could add an option or a filter to allow folks to see all categories instead. I suppose people might want this to show the whole gamut of categories that are potentially available on the site.

This ties in nicely with #1977

Research direction

Start by locating the category dropdown implementation and the query or filter that limits it to categories with active or unexpired jobs. Check the related discussion and issue #1977 for context, then make the available behavior configurable so completion can be verified by showing all categories when enabled.
