Moar constructive (#28254)

* made composite vars and groups generic

now you can do both in every plugin that chooses to suport it
renamed constructed_groups as it now also constructs vars ... to constructed
moved most of constructed_groups logic into base class to easily share

* documented inventory_hostname

* typo fix
