Add set_fact_persistent action and module. (#26153)

* Add 'cacheable' param to  set_fact action and module.

Used just like set_fact, except facts set with cacheable: true
will be stored in the fact cache if fact caching is enabled.

set_fact normally only sets facts in the non_persistent_fact_cache, so they
are lost between invocations.

* update set_facts docs

* use 'ansible_facts_cacheable' in module/actions result

* pop fact cacheable related items out of args/results

We dont want to use 'ansible_facts_cacheable' result item
or 'cacheable' arg as actual facts, so pop them out of the
dicts.
