* Closes: #18588: Relabel Service model to Application Service

Updates the `verbose_name` of the `Service` and `ServiceTemplate` models to "Application Service" and
"Application Service Template" respectively. This serves as the foundational change for relabeling
the model throughout the user interface to reduce ambiguity.

To preserve backward compatibility for the REST and GraphQL APIs, the test suites have been updated
to assert the stability of the original field and parameter names. This includes:

*   Using `filter_name_map` in the filterset test case to ensure API query parameters remain
    `service` and `service_id`.
*   Employing the GraphQL test suite's aliasing mechanism to ensure the public schema remains
    unchanged despite the underlying `verbose_name` modification.

Subsequent commits will address UI-specific labels in navigation, tables, forms, and templates.

* Rename to Application Services/Application Service Templates in nav menu

* Rename ~service to ~'Application Service' in templates

This was done for both the Service model and Service Template model
appearances in templates where the word was hardcoded.

* Change ~service to ~'application service' hardcoded strings in Python files

* Update ~service to ~'application service' in docs

An often overlooked component of IPAM, NetBox also tracks autonomous system (AS) numbers and their assignment to sites. Both 16- and 32-bit AS numbers are supported, and like aggregates each ASN is assigned to an authoritative RIR.
## Service Mapping
## Application Service Mapping
NetBox models network applications as discrete service objects associated with devices and/or virtual machines, and optionally with specific IP addresses attached to those parent objects. These can be used to catalog the applications running on your network for reference by other objects or integrated tools.
To model services in NetBox, begin by creating a service template defining the name, protocol, and port number(s) on which the service listens. This template can then be easily instantiated to "attach" new services to a device or virtual machine. It's also possible to create new services by hand, without a template, however this approach can be tedious.
