If dual simplex or barrier did not set their solution pointers (e.g. on early termination, error, or limit), dereferencing sol_dual_simplex_ptr or sol_barrier_ptr directly causes a null pointer dereference.

Add regression tests for the null-result paths.
Exercise concurrent solves where dual simplex is inactive and where barrier is disabled. Include early-termination or limit cases. Verify that missing result pointers map to CONCURRENT_LIMIT and that the solve completes without a null dereference. Follow the existing gtest patterns under cpp/src/tests.
As per coding guidelines, C++/CUDA source changes must add unit tests.

sol_dual_simplex_ptr is still unconditionally dereferenced in the later PDLP ConcurrentLimit branch. If dual simplex produced no result, the new status guard maps it to CONCURRENT_LIMIT, but this branch then does *sol_dual_simplex_ptr anyway and can still crash. Please guard/fallback there too and add a null-result ConcurrentLimit regression.
