qml: use six pass dual kawase backdrop blur in `ModalDialog`

We can do this now, thanks to 33260dbb.

Even though the blur is live here, and we do not release
intermediate layers, a dialog is meant to be transient, so
we do not care about resource consumption here (unlike mini
player).

This is important to do, because bare four pass blur is not
enough for source that has sharp edges as it produces visible
artifacts. In mini player case, this is less of a problem
since we use postprocessing there (to simulate "frosted glass"
effect) that covers the artifacts of the blur to most extent.

Since six pass blur inherently increases the blurring, I also
reduce the blur radius.
