remote build: internal error when build is cancelled on launchpad
Metadata
Current evaluation
remote-build crashes with internal error MissingSchema when a build is cancelled on Launchpad (build_log_url is the string "None"); acknowledged by mr-cal, tracked upstream in craft-application#996 and Jira SNAPCRAFT-1281, still unfixed.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Confirmed unfixed in current code: craft-application/services/remotebuild.py:203 still only guards with `if not url:`, so a build_log_url of the literal string "None" (returned by Launchpad for cancelled builds) passes through to requests and raises MissingSchema. Maintainer mr-cal explicitly acknowledged "This is definitely a bug, I've created an upstream issue: canonical/craft-application#996", and the bot created SNAPCRAFT-1281; the issue is labeled Status: Triased / Type: Bug, so it is a validated bug that should stay open until the upstream patch lands and a craft-application version bump pulls it into snapcraft.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this bug isn't described by any existing issues.
### Bug description
I started a remote-build. 3 out of the builds failed, and I manually cancelled the 4th. ([link](https://launchpad.net/~sed-i/sed-i-craft-remote-build/+snap/snapcraft-nushell-75301ebd25a0f7bfc4127cbebfb72467))
As soon as I cancelled the build, snapcraft returned with the following error:
```
> snapcraft remote-build
remote-build is experimental and is subject to change. Use with caution.
All data sent to remote builders will be publicly available. Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N]: y
snapcraft internal error: MissingSchema("Invalid URL 'None': No scheme supplied. Perhaps you meant https://None?")
```
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start a multi platform build for a buggy snap. In my case it was an "unbounded variable" - used a variable I didn't set.
2. Let a few build fail, then manually cancel the remaining one.
### Environment
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS on multipass
snapcraft 8.13.2 (16570) latest/stable
### snapcraft.yaml
```yaml
I don't think it's specific to a snap
```
### Log output

Upstream issue created by maintainer mr-cal; the faulty `if not url` check lives in craft-application, not the snapcraft repo, so the fix must land there first
