Add contacts field to ip addresses table view

[stalker-nn]

NetBox version

v.4.4.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I would like to suggest adding the Contacts field to the IP address table view settings. Currently, this field is unavailable for selection in the table configuration.

Use case

When viewing or exporting a list of IP addresses, it would be nice to see contact persons.

I'm going to accept this, to maintain consistency with the other 15 models that already implement it, and assign it to you, @stalker-nn. In the future, please wait until a feature request is accepted and assigned to you before making a PR. We don't review PRs for unaccepted feature requests to avoid wasting both contributor and maintainer time on work that may not align with the project's direction or scope.

I'd also like for us to audit which models inherit from ContactsMixin and ensure they all get this same treatment. Is that something you can also commit to doing in your PR, @stalker-nn?

Thanks for accepting my request, @jnovinger

I checked the models that inherit from ContactsColumnMixin. They all contain this treatment, but the VirtualCircuit model is missing the 'contacts' attribute in the 'fields' tuple. It looks like this mixin automatically adds this attribute to 'fields'.
