Parser is unset when a static analysis cannot find a docstring, but dynamic can

[machow]

From this ibis comment (cc @cpcloud , @jcrist): https://github.com/ibis-project/ibis/pull/10079/files/152f15265038453bd34a4742a1c34ac913ced186#r1752391475

When a user dynamically loads a docstring, quartodoc does the following:

• loads object statically (as griffe data)
• loads object dynamically (as an import)
• replaces the static object's docstring with the dynamic one

quartodoc tries to preserve the parser settings when doing this, by copying the settings from the static docstring. However, when there's no static docstring, it accidentally sets things like parser to None. This means that tools like griffe don't know it's parsing a numpy docstring.
