Contact startups

New Behavior

Adding Contact, Contact Group, Contact Role startup scripts along with corresponding initialization yaml file examples.

Contrast to Current Behavior

Created new contact startup scripts feature that will execute at startup of NetBox.

Discussion: Benefits and Drawbacks

Contact objects were recently added to NetBox and did not have any corresponding startup scripts. There are no drawbacks, should be backwards compatible as far as when Contacts were added. I did not include Tags as an option in the yaml files, but did include custom fields.

Changes to the Wiki

The Wiki doesn't need updated.

Proposed Release Note Entry

Contact, Contact Group, Contact Role startup scripts added.

Added line at end

Hi @Lon1, recently there has been a merge to the develop branch and now all startup_scripts are made idempotent.
Please check out this line in racks script and the lines below and adjust your scripts accordingly, i.e. to use the new split_params function and by moving the set_custom_fields_values outside of the last if.

@kr3ator - I've made the requested changes, hopefully all the checks pass this time!

[Lon1]

@kr3ator - hold off! - I didn't see the use for match_params further above in your script. Please standby.

Done adding match_params assignments @kr3ator

@kr3ator - I fixed the linting issues, but I still don't have the split_params function. Will you just merge anyway?

You should rebase your branch onto the current develop branch. Then you will have the function.

@kr3ator - should be rebased, please try again. Thanks.
