Avoid categories containing "and" #89

Recent example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Alligators_and_crocodiles

Better split: [[Category:Alligators]] and [[Category:Crocodiles]]

I am confused. We already filter out single-word categories, see https://github.com/erlehmann/open-access-media-importer/blob/master/helpers/template.py#LC98.

We do not filter out categories that contain an "and", but most of these are not accepted on Commons. We could of course put "and" categories onto a blacklist (as per https://github.com/erlehmann/open-access-media-importer/issues/92 ), but it would more often be better to have both of the "split" categories (and be they single-worded).
