How the heck would we have a program with nil options?

@copilot find all the places that programs are created without options/with nil options. Use that to derive a test case.

I searched all call sites of compiler.NewProgram (about 15 across compiler, execute, project, tests, and harnessutil). They all pass an explicit Config. The only project-system call is project.go:376 where Config: commandLine comes from getCommandLineWithTypingsFiles() → p.CommandLine.
For CommandLine to be nil at CreateProgram time:
- Configured projects:
NewConfiguredProjectdoes NOT setCommandLine—it's set later byacquireConfigForProjectinupdateProgram's firstLockedblock. This normally prevents nil from reachingCreateProgrambecause ifacquireConfigForProjectreturns nil,deleteProject=trueandCreateProgramis never called. If it returns non-nil and differs from the current (nil) value,CommandLineis set viaChange. - Inferred projects:
NewInferredProjectalways setsCommandLine, andClone()copies it, so nil should not occur here.
The stack trace shows dirty.(*Box[...]).Change/Locked (the inferred project path from DidRequestFile:397). I was unable to find a deterministic code path where the inferred project's CommandLine becomes nil through the current API—NewInferredProject, updateInferredProjectRoots, and Clone() all maintain a non-nil CommandLine.
I reverted the program.go change since programs should never have nil options. The remaining guard in updateProgram is defense-in-depth: it skips CreateProgram and resets dirty state if CommandLine is unexpectedly nil, preventing the crash without masking the underlying issue.
