format_cap: guard against NULL src in *_from_cap helpers
ast_format_cap_append_from_cap() and ast_format_cap_replace_from_cap()
dereference 'src' (src->preference_order) without checking it for NULL.
A dummy channel allocated with ast_dummy_channel_alloc() never sets a
native-format capability, so ast_channel_nativeformats() returns NULL on
such channels. When CHANNEL(audionativeformat) / CHANNEL(videonativeformat)
is evaluated against a dummy channel (e.g. via ARI channelvars during a
Stasis VarSet event raised while app_voicemail builds the notification
email on a dummy channel), func_channel_read() passes that NULL straight
into ast_format_cap_append_from_cap(), causing a NULL dereference at
offset 0x28 and a SIGSEGV.
Guard both helpers against a NULL source. A NULL source simply means
"no formats to copy", so appending/replacing nothing is the correct
no-op behaviour. This also protects all other callers.

AI disclosure: this was generated using Claude Opus 4.8, tested to fix the issue. Not sure if it is the *right* way to do it.
