When generators are shared between machines, their definition has to be the same across all machines. If not, it might lead to unexpected problems, as the architecture assumes that all definitions are the same.
fixes https://git.clan.lol/clan/clan-core/issues/5253
This improves the performance of deployment, by aggregating uncached select calls for vars generate into two batches.
batch 1: Get all generators of all machines
batch 2: get all final scripts for generators which need to run
For either(oneOf) types, we skip introspection as we cannot
determine which branch of the union was taken without more context
This *should* be safe, as it can currently mostly be triggered through
The `extraModules` setting of inventory modules.
Example:
```
importer.roles.default.extraModules = [
../../modules/nixos/common.nix
];
```

Closes: #5387
Add documentation explaining that services defining vars need to run
update-vars before tests can execute. Clarifies how `clan.directory`
determines where vars are generated and loaded from during testing.
