This PR ports #52527 to master branch.


What does this PR do?

This PR fixes an issue that is currently blocking the "core" grains execution for several seconds when the some "FQDNs" cannot be calculated.

Currently, in order to calculate the fqdns grain, all the IP addresses from the minion are processed sequentially. The problem here comes from the underlying calls to socket.gethostbyaddr which can takes 5 seconds until it's released (after reaching the socket.timeout) when there is no defined "fqdn" for that IP.

In some scenarios, depending on the minion network configuration, this situation makes the fqdn grain calculation to take even more than 15 seconds. This completely breaks minion execution not only at startup time but any time the minion refreshes its grains.

This PR makes the fqdn_lookup to be executed in parallel (using threads) so, in those cases we would only wait until "socket.timeout" is reached once and prevent from blocking the minion execution for such a long time.

Besides of that, the whole "fqdn" calculation logic has been moved to the network execution module. Since the process of calculating the "fqdns" can take too much in case of networking issues, it makes more sense to move if away from the "core" grains and also introduce a new configuration parameters called enable_fqdns_grains(default True) to allow not to calculate "fqdns" as part of the "core" grains rendering.
