Josh Patterson cad18f5bfc FIX: report push result as unknown when the orchestration raises
A queued push is tracked by an orchestration that waits on the minion's
state run. If salt-master restarts while it waits, the orchestration step
raises AuthenticationError and never collects the minion's return, but the
minion still runs the queued state. so-push-drainer logged these as
"push failed ... change will be applied at the next scheduled highstate",
which was wrong on both counts.

Seen on a fresh 3.4.0 standalone: hydra.enabled and telegraf.output were
saved just after SOC started a grid highstate. Both pushes queued behind
it. That highstate was the first with a license granting the vrt feature,
so salt.master wrote vrt_engine.conf and reactor_hypervisor.conf and
restarted salt-master as its last step. Both orchestrations raised, the
minion then ran both state runs with 0 failed states, and the drainer
logged two ERRORs.

When every failed step of the orchestration raised (salt's "An exception
occurred in this state:" comment, with no minion returns), log a WARNING
that the result is unknown and the state run may still have completed.
Conflicts, failed states, render errors, and results mixing a raised step
with a real failure still log ERROR.

so-push-drainer
===============
Scheduled drainer for the active-push feature. Runs on the manager every
drain_interval seconds (default 15) via a salt schedule in salt/salt/push_drain_schedule.sls.
For each intent file under /opt/so/state/push_pending/*.json whose last_touch
is older than debounce_seconds, this script:
* concatenates the actions lists from every ready intent
* dedupes by (state or __highstate__, tgt, tgt_type)
* dispatches a single `salt-run state.orchestrate orch.push_batch --async`
with the deduped actions list passed as pillar kwargs
* deletes the contributed intent files on successful dispatch
* records the orchestration jid under /opt/so/state/push_dispatched and, on
later passes, looks up its result and logs success or per-minion failures
Reactor sls files (push_files, push_pillar) write intents
but never dispatch directly
