Add MoCA (coaxial) Interface Type

Proposed functionality

I am raising this FR to ask for a new coaxial "interface type" for MoCA (Wikipedia link).

I am unsure as to whether the project would prefer to break out the specific MoCA "version" as multiple types? Different versions of MoCA do have different rated interface throughput as well as limitations around simultaneous clients, so that would be an argument for multiple type options. However, the existing "DOCSIS" interface type currently doesn't get split out by version of DOCSIS, even though there are a bunch of those. So, following existing style / KISS would imply a single "MoCA" type.

I'd be willing to make an attempt at the PR to add MoCA (it would be my first PR to NetBox) if I can get clarification on whether each different MoCA revision (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) belongs in the list separately, or not. AIUI, the only changes would be a few lines added in netbox/dcim/choices.py?

(I would think that if the different MoCA revisions are broken out as different types, then DOCSIS should also have similar types added for consistency, but it's unclear to me what should happen with the old "vanilla" DOCSIS type at that point...)

Use case

Real world example of ISP/telco-type hardware that uses this interface: InCoax in:xtnd Control C25x series, this is one example from one vendor, but I know there are others. These systems exist as a way to re-use existing coax/CATV plant to distribute higher-speed service, typically in an apartment/MDU-type scenario.

An umbrella option for MoCA seems reasonable, like DOCSIS, without breaking it out in to the specific versions.

Assigning to you, @ZPrimed !
