Solve performance issue with a large number of groups (#13957)

Ansible excessively checks the file system for the potential presence of
`group_vars` and `host_vars` files.

For large numbers of groups this leads to combinatorial performance
issues.

This commit generates a set of group_vars and host_vars filenames using
`os.listdir()` in every possible location and then checks against the sets
before making a stat of the file system.

Also included in this commit is caching of the base directory lookup
for the inventory.
