[Bug]: list_jobs with search_target fails if targets is not iterable

What happened?

There are execution and state failures that can leave Target as something other than a string or list in the job cache. salt.runners.jobs line 334 iterates across the targets in the job but doesn't check if the target is iterable. If line 334 in jobs.py was changed from targets = ret[item]["Target"] to targets = ret[item]["Target"] if hasattr(ret[item]["Target"], '__iter__') else [] it would resolve this issue

Start in salt.runners.jobs at jobs.py line 334 and inspect how list_jobs with search_target handles the cached Target value. Reproduce the failure with a non-iterable Target, then verify the command completes without the iteration error and add regression coverage for that case.
