Rename Project Euler directories and other dependent changes (#3300)
* Rename all Project Euler directories:

Reason:
The change was done to maintain consistency throughout the directory
and to keep all directories in sorted order.

Due to the above change, some config files had to be modified:
'problem_22` -> `problem_022`

* Update scripts to pad zeroes in PE directories

Problem 33: https://projecteuler.net/problem=33
The fraction 49/98 is a curious fraction, as an inexperienced
mathematician in attempting to simplify it may incorrectly believe
that 49/98 = 4/8, which is correct, is obtained by cancelling the 9s.
We shall consider fractions like, 30/50 = 3/5, to be trivial examples.
There are exactly four non-trivial examples of this type of fraction,
less than one in value, and containing two digits in the numerator
and denominator.
If the product of these four fractions is given in its lowest common
terms, find the value of the denominator.
