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

Project Euler Problem 56: https://projecteuler.net/problem=56
A googol (10^100) is a massive number: one followed by one-hundred zeros;
100^100 is almost unimaginably large: one followed by two-hundred zeros.
Despite their size, the sum of the digits in each number is only 1.
Considering natural numbers of the form, ab, where a, b < 100,
what is the maximum digital sum?
