Yeah, we should probably not let the user remove this entry, only change its indexing status.

The user changed their home directory to "Not Indexed", selected another KCM, then opened up "File Search" again to see:

/home/user "Indexed"
/home/user "Not Indexed"

He repeated it to get

/home/user "Indexed"
/home/user "Not Indexed"
/home/user "Not Indexed"

[kcms/baloo] Don't allow removing the home path

Baloo doesn't actually support not indexing the home path at all, but
the UI allows it, sort of: you can do it, but it doesn't actually have
any effect, and and the removed entry comes back when you leave and
return to the KCM. So let's remove the possibility of doing it at all
by marking the home path in the model as not deletable.
FIXED-IN: 5.22
