applet/notifications: remove transitions to prevent UI glitches

Dominique Hummel requested to merge naxdy/plasma-workspace:work/fix-notification-ui-glitches into master

This patch is a workaround for BUG-427894.

The transitions seem to cause erratic behavior when interacting with the "Show %1 More" / "Show fewer" buttons in the notification. This causes two types of glitches:

  1. A purely visual glitch when expanding the notifications, leaving behind a gap in the former position of the button: Screenshot_20221129_155502-1
  2. A functional glitch when collapsing the notifications, which causes the "Show %1 More" button to overlap with the title of the next navigation, often times preventing said button from being clicked altogether: Screenshot_20221129_155312-1

This patch completely removes any visual transitions in the notification history, which also eliminates this "glitchy" behavior. Before re-adding transitions in the future, I would suggest to make sure they do not cause any unwanted side effects.
