Natalie Tay 8a79c788a5 FIX: Do not write localized fancy title to db when fancy_title is null (#37668)
Related:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/yet-another-title-localization-issue/395469

### bug context

tldr; `Topic#fancy_title` saves a fancy_title to db when the fancy_title
is null.

This bug requires a certain incantation to trigger.
- Topic 395465 exists with `title = "Notification level button always
says \"tracking\""` and
`fancy_title = NULL` in the DB
  - A `TopicLocalization` exists for this topic in `zh_CN`
  - `content_localization_enabled` is on

When a crawler hits `GET /t/.../395465?tl=zh_CN`, localization
replacement happens on the topic, which writes the title attribute, so
the state is now
  - `title` = Chinese (modified)
  - `fancy_title` = NULL (untouched, still what was loaded from DB)
  
When serializing via `TopicViewSerializer` which uses
`LocalizedFancyTopicTitleMixin`, we call `topic.fancy_title`. The
`topic#fancy_title` generates the fancy_title from the title value, then
writes the chinese fancy title to db 😢

### fix

This commit fixes the issue by ensuring the fancy_title is always written
along with the title, preventing the need for invoking
`topic#fancy_title`.
