Title:
  The TestCaseSourceAttribute should allow to set multiple categories
  using .SetCategory or .SetCategories

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi NUnit,

  Use of the TestCaseSourceAttribute together with yield is a great way
  to generate test vectors. However, in some cases, a certain test may
  have multiple categories applied, in my case for example
  'SerialPortAIsAvailable' + 'SerialPortBIsAvailable' +
  'SerialPortsAreInterconnected'. This currently cannot be achieved
  using .SetCategory() because that method only takes a single string as
  an argument. I therefore suggest to either provide a .SetCategory()
  method that takes a string array as an argument, or the add a new
  method .SetCategories() that does the same.

  Example code:
  foreach (KeyValuePair<TransmissionType, string> kvp in TransmissionTypes.GetItems)
  {
      yield return (new TestCaseData(kvp.Key, SingleLineCommand, 1).SetCategory(kvp.Value).SetName(kvp.Key + "_SingleLineTransmission"));
      yield return (new TestCaseData(kvp.Key, DoubleLineCommand, 1).SetCategory(kvp.Value).SetName(kvp.Key + "_DoubleLineTransmission"));
     yield return (new TestCaseData(kvp.Key, DoubleLineCommand, 2).SetCategory(kvp.Value).SetName(kvp.Key + "_DoubleLineDoubleTransmission"));
     ...

  Currently using:
  > NUnit 2.5.10 (not yet upgraded to 2.6.2 due to the fact that the upgrade lead to issues with .NET 3.5)
  > Gui Runner

  Best regards & Thanks a lot for NUnit being such a great tool!
