      .Separate parameters for Insights registration and inventory uploads

      Previously, when you set `host_registration_insights` to `false`, Satellite disabled both Insights registration and inventory upload.
      Now, Satellite handles Insights registration and inventory uploads by separating this into two parameters:

      * `host_registration_insights` controls whether a host registers with Red Hat Insights.
      * `host_registration_insights_inventory` controls whether a host is included in the Insights Inventory report sent to the Hybrid Cloud Console.
      This change gives users better control over what data Satellite sends to Red Hat services.

      To exclude a host from full Insights registration but still include it in inventory reporting, set `host_registration_insights = false` and `host_registration_insights_inventory = true`.

      Till Satellite 6.16, When the value of `host_registration_insights` is set to false, Satellite will not only disallow insights-client registration on individual client hosts but will also exclude them from the inventory Upload report.  

      As https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-27221 has been resolved in Satellite 6.17, This has changed this behavior. 

      Now we have two parameters: 

      host_registration_insights -> controls whether or not a system would be registered with insights 

      host_registration_insights_inventory -> controls whether or not a system would be included in the report generated by the Insights Inventory plugin of the satellite.

       

      This is a very important change in behavior and should not only be documented in Release notes but should be present somewhere else in the documentation as well where we talk about inventory upload stuff. 

       

      We may also want to call out that, If someone wants to send just a bare minimum set of information from satellite-managed hosts back to console.redhat.com inventory, Then they can set `host_registration_insights` to false, `host_registration_insights_inventory` to true and then wait for the Inventory plugin to upload the satellite inventory back to HBI.
