Description

Start with a fresh installation of quassel. Skip create identity. Try to connect to some network.

It crash while accessing a null reference. From a null pointer to a an Identity object which, of course, does not exist.
In the patch, the returned identity is checked if it exist. If not, no new CertIdentity is created and a warning is printed.

Todo:
- Disable GUI components to connect to a network if not identity exist.
- Client::identity() should not returns pointers. Const references are fine.
If no identify exist, may throw an exception. Or return a dummy identify.

client: Fix settings crash on missing net identity

When fetching the client identity in Network settings, make sure the
identity exists before trying to convert it into a CertIdentity.

This resolves a crash if an identity is deleted improperly or if no
identities are specified.

Test case:
1. Clear the configuration for Quassel monolithic
2. Start Quassel monolithic
3. Cancel the setup wizard (before creating any identity)
4. Go to Settings -> Configure Quassel... (F7)
5. Navigate to IRC -> Identities, confirm that no identity exists
6. Navigate to IRC -> Networks
7. Add a new network (details don't matter)
8. Observe results

NOTE: This fix was contributed by "kater" on the Quassel IRC bug
tracker. I'm not sure of a better way to provide attribution, as I
don't know if they want their email address part of Quassel's public
record.
