Petr Vobornik 27ea90792f Circular entity dependency
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1531

Each entity is created together with its dependent objects (e.g. facets and dialog boxes). This causes a circular dependency problem because some of the objects need to obtain a reference to another entity that has not been created.

Currently this is handled by storing only the other entity name and resolve it when needed (e.g. during rendering stage). In IPA.search_facet this delays the creation of the table widget, making it more difficult to customize.

One solution is to do the object creation in 2 steps:

 * create all entity objects only
 * create the dependent objects in each entity

Implemented solution:
 * all entities are created on application start
 * dependant objects (facets and dialogs) are created at once on their first use in entity.

                               IPA Server

  What is it?
  -----------

  For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
  centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:

    * Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
      credentials)
    * Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
    * Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof) 

  Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
  products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
  following weaknesses:

    * Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
      less focus on policy and audit.
    * Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
      developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
      world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
      a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
    * Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
      vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
      difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
