This fix solves a bug where, when completing a project without tasks, it will fail to close.
If a project without tasks is set to "Completed", either through setting the project status directly or with the "set_project_status" function, the status is not changed but reverted back to "Open".
The reason for this behaviour is, that since there are no tasks to provide a completion percentage erpnext will not accept the "Completed" status.
While failing the bug does not throw an error or warning message to the user, hence I am assuming the behaviour is unintentional and needs to be fixed.
This fix solves the bug by changing the completion type to manual on completing the project if there are no tasks within the project
