Cancel the collection-loading map before waiting on it in ~ElementsCollectionModel

Reviving #713, closed 2026-09-21 purely to clear a maintainer review
backlog (#630), not on merit; not superseded. The crash #713 was
originally named after (bugtracker #291) was already fixed separately
by 39ac5716c, merged 14 Aug -- confirmed still on master. What's left,
and what this revives, is the one-line follow-up #713 itself narrowed
to after that: m_future.cancel() before the wait.

Without it, ~ElementsCollectionModel()'s wait runs the whole queued
QtConcurrent::map() to completion, so cancelling the open-element
dialog blocks until every remaining item has been processed -- a
visible hang on the button pressed precisely to stop the work.
cancel() drops the not-yet-started items so the wait is short, while
still waiting for whatever item is already in flight (needed so it
can't dereference this object after it's gone).

Qt 6.10.2, ctest 13/13. The responsiveness gain itself is reasoned
from QFuture's documented cancel()/waitForFinished() semantics rather
than timed -- same as the original PR's own stated verification.
