fix(explore): add defensive null checks for SQL extraction in View Query modal

Addresses PR feedback for safer SQL extraction from parsing errors:
- Use explicit None check instead of truthiness to preserve falsy SQL like ""
- Split edge case tests into separate functions for better granularity
- Remove time-specific references from test docstrings

Changes:
- query_actions.py: Check `is not None` to avoid discarding valid empty SQL
- test_get_data_command.py: Split combined test into two independent tests
  - test_get_query_handles_parsing_error_with_missing_sql_key
  - test_get_query_handles_parsing_error_with_null_sql_value
