We encountered a case where the version upgrade changed the quality profile to a new one which was specific to the printer rather than a global profile. As the upgraded stack was being read from the project file, it would go look for the new quality profile in the workspace. That ID wouldn't be present in there, and so it would crash and pretend the project file is plain 3MF. This change makes it fallback to the built-in profiles, for precisely such cases as when a version upgrade changes the stack. Contributes to issue CURA-8212.
