feat(website): mirror index layout on category pages

Add search input, filter chips, no-results block, and back-to-top
button to category/group/subcategory pages. Pass filter_urls_json to
all page types so tag-chip navigation works site-wide. Fix JS so
filter-clear and no-results-clear redirect to / on non-index pages
instead of trying to filter a non-existent local table. Remove the
now-redundant .category-results CSS overrides.
