Add Color Picker for New 'Tag' Feature

[WilliamMarti]

Environment

Python version: Python v3.5.2
NetBox version: v2.4.1

Proposed Functionality

Add Color picker, similar to what currently exists with 'Device Roles' already.

Use Case

Currently all tags have a grey background, would be helpful if we could more quickly visually discern which is which.

Database Changes

Assuming we need a new field for the Tag model.

External Dependencies

No new external dependencies required.

Assuming we need a new field for the Tag model.

We're actually using the stock Tag model from django-taggit. We would need to implement our own model inheriting from TagBase. Should be fairly straightforward with a migration though, I think.

[iDemonix]

Would this functionality be in the Django admin area, or within the Netbox UI itself?

[jeremystretch]

@iDemonix it would be implemented in the regular frontend.

Doesn't we could use Select2 for this? We could use the "Multi-select boxes (pillbox)".

@tb-killa yes the UI portion will be taken care of by Select2. In fact this is already implemented in the select2-ui branch.

However, adding color to tags will require more effort and will be implemented after select2 in accordance with this issue.

Implemented in the develop-2.6 branch.
