blur: revise general blur styling and refine it

cherry-pick of 1abb2210 from master, translated to hotfix-1.4.5 (omits ElevationShadow gating since shadow overhaul isn't on this branch; gates existing MultiEffect-based shadows by BlurService.enabled instead). Drops DoNotDisturbDetail.qml hunk since the file does not exist on this branch.
