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 Statement:
If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5,
we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below N.
"""
def solution(n: int = 1000) -> int:
"""
This solution is based on the pattern that the successive numbers in the
series follow: 0+3,+2,+1,+3,+1,+2,+3.
Returns the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below n.
>>> solution(3)
0
>>> solution(4)
3
>>> solution(10)
