Merged column headers should work within declarative Grid. (#12206)

- null check to prevent NPE from the merged column headers
- convert to internal columnIds for merge handling
- use correct cell in merge handling
- switch away from streams in merge handling for easier readability
- regression test

Fixes: #10464
