Description

If some projects in the list of local projects do not exist in Mergin anymore, the app does not indicate that in any way. Also, checking project status will only say "no changes".

It would be good to show some kind of warning icon next to the project name in the list. Clicking the warning icon would tell the user that the project does not exist anymore. And maybe later we could offer an option to create a new project and upload the content to "rescue" such project.

Slightly related to #379 as the warning icon could reuse the same icon area as "sync" icon would normally do...

Research direction

Start by tracing the local-project list and the project-status check described in the issue, then review related issue #379 for the existing sync-icon area. Done means orphaned projects show a warning icon, and selecting it explains that the project no longer exists on Mergin.
