Add a button to trace cables on the cable page /dcim/cables/123

Use case

This would simplify cable tracing. Instead of needing to go to the patch panel or interface, you could trace a cable directly from the cable page.

Seems pretty reasonable to me, and little effort.

Tracing is directional, and must be performed from a specific endpoint of the cable.

Would it be possible to add a button to each Endpoint on the cable page, one for Termination A and one for Termination B?

@dreng That seems like it would be a good solution.
