Is it possible to merge keywords in the Photos app?
Only manually. There is no merge tool like we had in Aperture.

Basically I am using a smart album to search for all keywords I want to merge into one keyword
Match Any:
Then I select all photos in this smart album and in the Info I apply the keyword I want to keep.
Once the keeper has been applied, I delete the keyword I do not want to keep from the Info.
Then I delete the redundant keyword from Keyword Manager ⌘K in "edit keywords" mode.
