No InventoryUpdates when source Project is failed (#13063)

Previously, in some cases, an InventoryUpdate sourced by an SCM project
would still run and be successful even after the project it is sourced
from failed to update. This would happen because the InventoryUpdate
would revert the project back to its last working revision. This
behavior is confusing and inconsistent with how we handle jobs (which
just refuse to launch when the project is failed).

This change pulls out the logic that the job launch serializer and
RunJob#pre_run_hook had implemented (independently) to check if the
project is in a failed state, and puts it into a method on the Project
model. This is then checked in the project launch serializer as well as
the inventory update serializer, along with
SourceControlMixin#sync_and_copy as a fallback for things that don't run
the serializer validation (such as scheduled jobs and WFJT jobs).
