Provide feature parity in module bay dropdown

[0lini]

NetBox version

v4.3.2

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

When assigning/creating a module on a device, currently there is no indication if a module bay is occupied or not. I propose a indication like with interfaces or front/rear ports, where bays in the drop down menu are grayed out and you are not able to select them.

Use case

When assign a lot of modules through the GUI to a device with a lot of module bays this will help the user by being able to see the which bays are already occupied and also not being able to select them.

I did a rewrite of the FR in simpler terms.
