Revert "(CAT-1646) - Remove section if its not have any settings"

PR #532 introduced 4ebe030 which breaks
backwards compatibility and is part of a patch release, as reported here:
#532 (comment)

This reverts commit 4ebe030.

This will allow us to do a new patch release that fix the unexpected
backwards incompatible change, and leave the room to implement this as
part of a next major version of the module.
