No ability to specify null values for source_project (ansible.controller.inventory_source)

Bug Summary

Depending on the source, source_project value is either defined or null. However, there is no way to specify null value source_project in a playbook. A workaround would be to have a different playbook for each source type (project, Satellite etc.) which is not scalable.
