This fixes the case in which the delegated to host may not be in the
specified hosts list, in which cases facts/vars for the host were
not available in the injected hostvars.
This also fixes the inventory variable fetching function, so that an
unknown host raises a proper error as opposed to a NoneType exception.
Fixes#8224
Avoid resolving a pattern that is a plain host. When matching a hostname in the
hosts_cache, just use the host object from there.
When running a task on say 750 hosts, this yields a huge improvement.
Split out parsing of vars files to per host and per group
parsing, instead of reparsing all groups for each host. This enhances
performance.
Extend vars_plugins' API with two new methods:
* get host variables: only parses host_vars
* get group variables: only parses group_vars for specific group
The initial run method is still used for backward compatibility.
Parse all vars_plugins at inventory initialisation, instead of
per host when touched first by runner. Here we can also loop through
all groups once easily, then parse them.
This also centralizes all parsing in the inventory constructor.

If something is executable but doesn't look like it should be, or if
something is NOT executable and DOES looks like it should, show a

As part of 94f3b9bfab the code was changed to support dynamically adding localhost to the inventory. This change introduced an crash when run via ansible-pull

```
The root cause is there is no group for the host to be added to. I fixed this case by creating the ungrouped group when it doesn't exist and then adding the host to the newly added group. This fixes the regression for me.
For link-local addresses, it is sometimes necessary to append the
interface to use for the ipv6 address. This patch extends the ipv6
regex to allow for '%ifnameX' at the end.
