fix(apply): preserve project name on a name-less re-apply

`upsert_project_tx` defaulted a missing `[project].name` to the slug and then
`ON CONFLICT (slug) DO UPDATE SET name = EXCLUDED.name` wrote that fabricated
value unconditionally — so a re-apply from a clone whose manifest omits `name`
silently clobbered the stored display name back to the slug (visible in
`pic projects ls` / `pic groups ls`).

Bind the raw optional name once and guard both sides on it:
`VALUES ($1, COALESCE($2, $1), $3)` (first apply falls back to the slug for the
NOT NULL column) and `DO UPDATE SET name = COALESCE($2, projects.name)` (a
re-apply updates the name only when the manifest actually declares one). An
omitted optional field now preserves persisted data instead of mutating it.

Pinned by a new `reapply_without_name_preserves_project_name` journey.
