Fix page layout xml of pagebuilder overriding the layout set by theme

[GrimLink]

Description (*)

This Pull Request removes the hardcoded layout attribute from Magento/PageBuilder/view/frontend/page_layout/catalog_category_view.xml.

Since the Magento 2.4.6-p3, this attribute forces a specific layout, making it impossible for custom themes to override the category page layout via their own XML files. Removing this attribute restores the expected layout inheritance and allows theme-level overrides to function correctly.

Fixed Issues (if relevant)

1. layout 2 columns left avoid to override layout on catalog_category_view #829: Cannot override category layout in custom theme since 2.4.6-p3
2. page layout xml of pagebuilder override the layout set by theme magento2#38473: Layout set in Magento_PageBuilder overriding layout set by theme

Manual testing scenarios (*)

1. Install a Magento instance (version 2.4.6-p3 or newer) with PageBuilder enabled.
2. Create or use a custom frontend theme.
3. In the custom theme, create a layout override: app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[Theme]/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_category_view.xml.
4. Define a specific layout in that file (e.g., <page layout="1column" ...>).
5. Flush the cache and view a category page on the storefront.
6. Result (Pre-fix): The category page ignores the theme setting and sticks to the PageBuilder-defined layout.
7. Result (Post-fix): The category page correctly honors the layout defined in the custom theme.
