Add FXS Interface Type

[nick-bogle]

NetBox version

v3.6.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I propose adding a new interface group of Analog, and a new interface type of FXO/FXS.

Use case

This would be a useful interface type to use on ATA devices, widely used in Enterprises and Service Providers. This would also be useful on any device that has a phone line interface of any kind (e.g. dial up modems for OOB, access control panels, fire alarm stations, etc).

Database changes

@jeremystretch Why was this closed? I don't quite understand why voice ports would be ignored in this project, they're quite common in almost every enterprise, education, and service provider network. Analog Telephone Adapters still have a huge presence and would be very useful to document in Netbox.

I missed this feature request so I just created a new one asking for almost the exact same thing.
