Avoid to update inlined relation column to NULL when deleting entities When deleting entities, cubicweb run a rql DELETE on all relations to trigger hooks. For an inlined relation this also mean set the column to NULL. This operation may fail if there's additional constraints on the column. Also this is a weird and useless behavior since deleting the entity row will by definition delete the relation. We still doesn't handle the case where both subject and object are going to be deleted because rows need to be deleted in a particular order that cubicweb doesn't handle. Add a test checking UPDATE does not occur but hooks are correctly called. Closes #17236690

What is CubicWeb?
-----------------

With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game!

CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, that
empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing components
(called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design principles.

Its main features are:

    * an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application,
    * a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL,
    * a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
    * a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs,
    * the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,
    * the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial for storage backends.

Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today, supporting
100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a proven end to
end solution for semantic web application development that promotes quality,
reusability and efficiency.

The unbeliever will read the quick overview_ of CubicWeb.

The hacker will join development at the forge_.

The impatient will move right away to installation_ and set-up of a CubicWeb
environment.
