fix: fetchLambdaInfo should return consistent results (#9332)

- Introduced a function `FetchRegisteredTargets` which will return
  a complete set of registered targets irrespective to their states,
  if the `returnOnTargetError` flag is set to `False`
- Refactor NewTarget functions to return non-nil targets
- Refactor GetARNList() to return a complete list of configured targets
