Fix the double free when a deleted cable is undone and edited again

Deleting a cable and pressing Ctrl+Z twice leaves the cable out of the
project while AddCableCommand still stands and still thinks it has to
clean that cable up. The next edit of any kind makes the stack throw the
undone commands away: ~RemoveCableCommand frees the cable, and
~AddCableCommand frees the same memory again. A plain build hides it,
AddressSanitizer reports it as a heap-use-after-free in
addcablecommand.cpp (blocking review comment by ispyisail).

AddCableCommand now holds the cable as a QPointer, which is what
RemoveCableCommand already did: whoever of the two runs first frees it,
the other one sees a null pointer and has nothing left to do, in either
order of destruction. The destructor also stopped dereferencing
project() without checking it, which it did on that very line.

Covered by tst_cableundointegration, a probe linked against the
application's objects the way the other integration probes are. It draws
a cable, deletes it, undoes twice and pushes a further edit -- the
sequence which used to crash. Verified in both directions: with the raw
pointer the probe dies with SIGSEGV inside ~AddCableCommand called from
QUndoStack::push, with the QPointer it prints its PASS line.
