Salt-nornir

CHANGES

1. Proxy module refresh_nornir behavior updated to not do saltutil.sync_all and saltutil.refresh_pillar as call pillar.items updates pillar regardless, that should improve nr.nornir refresh calls speed, as pillar no longrer updated three times. Had to ad this change as new netbox pillar netbx-secretstore was failing due to salt was trying to refresh secrets simultaneously due to previous behaviour.
