Allow specifying Component on Inventory Item import

[sleepinggenius2]

NetBox version

v3.2.2

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

The work that was done in #7846 is really useful for tracking things like SFPs that cannot currently be modeled as modules due to lack of module nesting. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to assign inventory items to components in bulk. I would propose adding something like component and component_type fields to the Inventory Item import form in order to facilitate this function.

Use case

Populating inventory items for components one at a time is tedious and time-consuming. It would be nice to be able to use the existing bulk import functionality to make this task easier.
