Add description & comments fields to all primary models

[jeremystretch]

NetBox version

v3.3.4

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

This issue proposes adding an optional comments field to all primary models that don't already have one. The list of relevant models includes:

• dcim.Cable
• dcim.PowerPanel
• dcim.RackReservation
• dcim.VirtualChassis
• ipam.Aggregate
• ipam.ASN
• ipam.FHRPGroup
• ipam.IPAddress
• ipam.IPRange
• ipam.L2VPN
• ipam.Prefix
• ipam.RouteTarget
• ipam.Service
• ipam.VLAN
• ipam.VRF
• wireless.WirelessLAN
• wireless.WirelessLink

Use case

The application of comment fields to NetBox models has been somewhat arbitrary over time. It's fair to assume a use case for each primary model to have a comments field suitable for storing incidental notes.

We should also consider adding a comments field to all organizational and nested group models.

Can we have this added also to the Image Attachments?
Currently only the Name field can be used to provide additional details but this is limited in size.

Following discussion from today's maintainers meeting, I'm going to refine the scope of this as ensuring all primary models have both a description and comments field to ensure consistency across the application.
