Merge branch '23990-project-show-error-when-empty-repo' into 'master'

500 error on project show when user is not logged in and project is still empty

## What does this MR do?

Aims to fix the 500 error when the project is empty and the user is not logged in and tries to access project#show

## Screenshots (if relevant)
When the project is empty and the user is not logged in we default to the empty project partial instead of readme.
