Genderified namespaces

About this (in Module:Category handler/shared):

	-- We don't use title.nsText for the namespace name because it adds
	-- underscores.

While tweaking this code (by the way, see T369784), I just discovered another difference:

In frwiki, for the "User:" namespace, we have two different words: "Utilisateur:" for male (or unknown) users and "Utilisatrice:" for female users. Same goes for the "User talk:" namespace.

Now, assuming titleObj represents a user page of a female user:

mw.site.namespaces[titleObj.namespace].name
-- always gives: "Utilisateur" (gender is not applied)

titleObj.nsText
-- gives: "Utilisatrice" (gender is applied)

By the way, from a technical point of view, this namespace genderification is a pain in the ass. On a regular basis.
