fix($rootScope): don't clear phase if $apply is re-entered

We cannot re-enter a `$apply` block while already in a `$apply` or `$digest`
phase.

Before this change such an invalid call to `$apply` was incorrectly clearing
the phase, which meant that a second invalid `$apply` call was being allowed.

Closes #12174
