Process

 * Get a bot to create all the "File-Class XXX articles" categories. The content should correspond to the "Image-Class XXX articles" category. ✅
 * Make a change to Template:Class mask so that the default name for this class is changed to "File". Some custom class masks may also need to be updated. ✅
 * Update the other banners that don't use class mask at Category:WikiProject banners.
 * Update all banners using inline class masks. ✅
 * Delete all the unwanted categories of the form "Image-Class XXX articles". ✅

Resources

 * Script and list by WOSlinker to semi-automate creating the categories.
 * Great little helper by Xeno to delete empty Image-class categories
