project: Only check non-cache vars when setting project vars

The change in commit 86ad7cc886 (project: Only define non-cache vars if
already defined, 2024-09-15, v3.30.4~2^2) was meant to only check for
non-cache variables when deciding whether to set non-cache project
variables for the current call.  However, it erroneously checked for any
variable, including cache variables.  This gives the intended result on
the first run, but on subsequent runs a cache variable will exist that
did not on the first run, leading to different behavior between the two
runs.  Fix the logic to only check for a pre-existing non-cache
variable, as was originally intended.

Fixes: #26355

.. versionchanged:: 3.30.4
If the variables ``<PROJECT-NAME>_SOURCE_DIR``,
``<PROJECT-NAME>_BINARY_DIR``, or ``<PROJECT-NAME>_IS_TOP_LEVEL`` are
already set as non-cache variables when ``project(<PROJECT-NAME> ...)``
is called, the ``project()`` command will overwrite the previous values.
The variables ``<PROJECT-NAME>_SOURCE_DIR``, ``<PROJECT-NAME>_BINARY_DIR``,
and ``<PROJECT-NAME>_IS_TOP_LEVEL`` are only set as non-cache variables if
they are already set as cache or non-cache variables when
``project(<PROJECT-NAME> ...)`` is called.
Note that this logic is flawed, as it can result in different behavior
between the first and subsequent runs because cache variables won't exist
on the first run, but they will on subsequent runs.

they are already set as non-cache variables when
``project(<PROJECT-NAME> ...)`` is called.
Unlike the flawed behavior of 3.30.4, non-cache variables will not be set
if only cache variables of the same name are set.
