Enable merged search results for Application Dashboard to workaround noise from empty categories

Merge search results in RunnerModel to workaround bug that makes results cluttered by lot of empty categories.

I would have prefered to restore the behaviour from Plasma 5 where just the empty categories are omitted while the results stay "unmerged" and separated by their category header; but I couldn't figure out how (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478472#c3 ).

So I'm submitting this workaround, because I think it nevertheless improves the situation a lot compared to the status quo in Plasma 6.
