Suggest picking a category on the pre-publish panel, only works for English

[grappler]

Description

The suggestion to pick a category on the pre-publish panel only works if the category "Uncategorized" exists. This is not the case for example for German installations. The default category in German is "Allgemein". I expect this is the same for other languages.

In WordPress it is also possible to change the default category, by hard-coding the default category this is not considered.

gutenberg/packages/editor/src/components/post-publish-panel/maybe-category-panel.js

Line 27 in 4970dcf

const defaultCategorySlug = 'uncategorized';

A simple solution would be to check the option default_category: get_option( 'default_category' )

Introduced in #37703

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Set up a WordPress installation with German as the default language
2. Publish a post with the category "Allgemein"
3. The pre-publish suggestion is missing
