CellBuild topology page easily crashes when deleting sections with continuous create on

[nrnhines]

At the last NEURON course, some users experienced issues with deleting sections in cell builder with continuous create on.
With this PR, the topology page now seems robust for all operations with continuous create.

There are likely some accumulating memory leaks during CellBuild usage and left over subsidiary objects when a CellBuild is closed. Those should be cleaned up in a separate pr.

The test_secref.py covers 97% of secref.cpp

When this PR is merged, it should be cherry picked into release/8.2

The CI documentation error is

TypeError: canonicalize_version() got an unexpected keyword argument 'strip_trailing_zero'

I presume this will go away after a near future merge from master.

There is CI ubuntu error

ubuntu-22.04 - cmake (-DNRN_ENABLE_CORENEURON=ON -DNRN_ENABLE_INTERVIEWS=OFF -DNMODL_SANITIZERS=undefinedundefined)

I'm not familiar with the diagnostic process in this area. My presumption is that it is not related to this PR.

@pramodk
ci/gitlab/bbpgitlab.epfl.ch — Pipeline failed on GitLab
However, all the status checkmarks in bbpbuildbot above are green. Is everything in fact OK? If so, please approve this PR.

[nrnhines]

I just noticed a comment by @1uc at
#3037 (comment)
Is the gitlab failure an example of that temporary Sonata issue?
edit: Ah yes. I just saw the NEURONdev slack general message.

[1uc]

Yes, this is the same issue. The pipeline that fails is called blueconfigs and it's not covered by the checkmarks. That's likely because blueconfigs is shared CI between several projects: NEURON, NMODL and neurodamus. Therefore, I think it was never taught to "report back" correctly for each of the three projects.

Rerunning should make CI go green again.

I have retriggered blueconfig CI. Hopefully, that will be green. As this is reviewed/discussed, feel free to merge once gitlab will done.
