Add the field Facility to the Location model

[jsenecal]

NetBox version

v3.6.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Add the field facility to the Location model the same way it's done on the Site model

Use case

Most of the time the Facility is not a whole building but rather a Suite (Location) in a building (Site). You may also have more than one Facility inside the same Site or have a single facility in a suite in the building but also other tenants in their own Locations which are not part of that Facility.

For example:
151 Front St., Toronto, ON Canada; Canada's largest Carrier Hotel.
Equinix TR1: Suite 706
Neutral Data Toronto: Suite 800
BELL Canada: Suite 605
Coloware YTZ1: Suite 504
Cologix TOR1: Suite 602
eStruxture TOR-1: Suite 341
Aptum: Suite 402
... and many others

Being able to document this Facility name/ID in a consistent manner across NetBox seems only reasonable.

Database changes

A new CharField, facility needs to be added to the Location model.

We can use the Site model for reference.

External dependencies

None

Agreed, we have POPs in many locations where the location is a suite that acts as a Provider's facility

FWIW I can submit a PR for this, if accepted.
