'<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'

Sorting worked if all stack_members were None, but not if some were null
and some int.
Fixed by converting None to Infinity (so None values are at the end of
the list.

Linked items are by default returned as a list of ICS id.
When recursive is True, a list of {ics_id, serial_number, stack_member}
is returned instead.

Items are always returned sorted by stack_member or ics_id when
stack_member is null.

Allow to add the serial_number and stack_member to the Ansible variables
in csentry dynamic inventory. Useful for switches.

Default timeout increased to 30 minutes.
Some AWX tasks can be quite long especially as the csentry inventory
update can't run at the same time as other jobs.

The error has been raised a few times but the cause hasn't been found.
Adding the representation of the job should help debugging.

The caching of the load_user function already created several bugs
(INFRA 908/1018).
It requires to think about adding (or deleting in the admin view)
the current_user to the session. This is easy to miss.

It saves some database queries but we don't need this optimization.
Performances are not impacted and are good enough so far.

Removing the caching makes the application more robust and easier to
maintain.

The LDAP_USER_DN was changed in 0.21.0.
This resulted in more entries returned when searching for users
and all users being disabled...

We were only looking into "OU=ESS Users" before.
Inactive users are put under "OU=InActiveUsers" in AD.

LDAP_USER_DN was set to "OU=ESS Users" preventing to find service
account users.
Leaving it empty and relying only on LDAP_BASE_DN allows service users
to login.

- normal users can delete hosts they created

Note that still only admin users can delete hosts via the API (more dangerous
operation as a script could delete many hosts).

Regression from b9c1b838

Calling utils.trigger_ioc_repository_creation runs launch_task
which does a db.session.add(task). This raises:

SAWarning: Usage of the 'Session.add()' operation is not currently
supported within the execution stage of the flush process. Results may
not be consistent.  Consider using alternative event listeners or
connection-level operations instead.

SAWarning: Attribute history events accumulated on 1 previously clean
instances within inner-flush event handlers have been reset, and will
not result in database updates.

The result is that the host is not added to the elasticsearch index.

We can't trigger the task in after_update/after_insert events.
Perform the call in the view instead. It's temporary anyway. This should
be handled by IOC Factory.

The set event is triggered too early and no interface is yet associated

1. It's possible to erase the network when creating a host.
The exception raised was due to the ip_in_range validator

Allow to trigger a new core service update only if there is none
depending on the triggered inventory update.

JIRA INFRA-895

As the core service update doesn't depend anymore on each other but only
on the inventory update, 2 can be launched almost at the same time.
As they can't run in parallel, the second one will only start when the
first one is done, meaning that it can take more than 180 seconds to
complete.

Increasing the timeout to 500 seconds should avoid the task to be
reported as failed when it just took longer to run.

Following exception is raised when trying to update a network from
flask-admin:
sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError: Can't attach instance <User at 0x7f6f0e39ce10>;
another instance with key (<class 'app.models.User'>, (1,), None) is already present in this session.

1. If we remove the caching of the load_user method, the problem
disappears.
2. When updating a Network, this trigger an inventory update in
before_flush which adds a task to the session. This is when the
current_user is added to the session and the error raised.

So the problem is linked to the user caching and flask-admin.

The workaround is to remove the user object added by flask-admin to the
session.
