AAP-39365 facts are unintentionally deleted when the inventory is modified during a job execution (#15910) (#6905)

* Added test_jobs.py to the model unit test folder in orther to show the undesired behaviour with fact cache



* Added test_jobs.py to the model unit test folder in orther to show the undesired behaviour with fact cache



* Solved undesired behaviour with fact_cache



* Solved bug with slices



* Remove unused imports

Remove now unused line of code which was commented out by the contributor

Revert "Remove now unused line of code which was commented out by the contributor"

This reverts commit f1a056a2356d56bc7256957a18503bd14dcfd8aa.

* Add back line that had been commented out as this line makes hosts specific to the particular slice when applicable

Revise private_data_dir fixture to see if it improves code coverage

Checked out awx/main/tests/unit/models/test_jobs.py in devel to see if it resolves git diff issue

* Fix formatting in awx/main/tests/unit/models/test_jobs.py

Rename for loop from host in hosts to hosts in hosts_cahced and remove unneeded continue

Revise finish_fact_cache to utilize inventory rather than hosts

Remove local var hosts that was assigned but unused

Revert change in start_fact_cache hosts_cached back to hosts

Revise the way we are handling hosts_cached and joining the file

Revert "Revise the way we are handling hosts_cached and joining the file"

This reverts commit e6e3d2f09c1b79a9bce3647a72e3dad97fe0aed8.

Reapply "Revise the way we are handling hosts_cached and joining the file"

This reverts commit a42b7ae69133fee24d3a5f1b456d9c343d111df9.

Revert some of my changes to get back to a better working state

Rename for loop to host in hosts_cached and remove unneeded continue

Remove jobs job.get_hosts_for_fact_cache() from post run hook, fix if statement after continue block, and revise how we are calling hosts in finish for loop

Add test_invalid_host_facts to test_jobs to increase code coverage

Update method signature to use hosts_cached and updated other references to hosts in finish_facts_cached

Rename hosts iterator to hosts_cached to agree with naming elsewhere

Revise test_invalid_host_facts to get more code coverage

Revise test_invalid_host_facts to increase codecov

Revise test_pre_post_run_hook_facts_deleted_sliced to ensure we are hitting the assertionerror for code cov

Revise  mock_inventory.hosts. to hit assert failure

Add revision of hosts and facts to force failure to satisfy code cov

Fix failure in test_pre_post_run_hook_facts_deleted_sliced

Add back for loop to create failures and add assert to hit them

Remove hosts.iterator() from both start_fact_cache and finish_fact_cache

Remove unused import of Queryset to satisfy api-lint

Fix typo in docstring hasnot to has not

Move hosts_cached.append(host) to outer loop in start_fact_cache

Add class to help support cached hosts resolving host.name issue with hosts_cached

* Add live tests for ansible facts

Remove fixture needed for local work only maybe

Revert "Add class to help support cached hosts resolving host.name issue with hosts_cached"

This reverts commit 99d998cfb9960baafe887de80bd9b01af50513ec.

* Move hosts_cached.append(host) outside of try except

* Move hosts_cached.append(host) to the beginning of start_fact_cache
