Only show NAPALM related tabs when applicable #6054

Description

NetBox version

v2.10.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I'd like to propose only showing the Status, LLDP Neighbors, and Configuration tabs on devices that meet the criteria for NAPALM integration.
As it is, these tabs always show up regardless of what type of device it is. NAPALM is only for networking devices and yet Netbox does not account for this.
It would make more sense if these tabs only appeared for eligible devices, similar to how Interfaces, Power ports and Power outlets tabs only appear for devices of which they are configured.

Use case

It would benefit Netbox users via the following:

  • Take up less space on the screen for those with lower resolutions
  • Have less chance for confusing users that have no idea what NAPALM is
  • It makes sense for it to be removed as a lot of users will never make use of this feature

I'm sure more users could add to the list of benefits.
