4867 multiple mac addresses (#17902) 
* Create MACAddress model and migrations to convert existing .mac_address fields to standalone objects

* Add migrations

* All views/filtering working and documentation done; no unit tests yet

* Redo migrations following VLAN Translation

* Remove mac_address filter fields and add table columns for device/vm

* Remove unnecessary "bulk rename"

* Fix filterset tests for Device

* Fix filterset tests for Interface

* Fix tests on single-object forms

* Fix serializer tests

* Fix filterset tests for VMInterface

* Fix filterset tests for Device and VirtualMachine

* Move new field check into lookup_map iteration

* Fix general MACAddress filter tests

* Add GraphQL types/filters/schema

* Fix bulk edit/create tests (bulk editing Interfaces will be unsupported because of inheritance from ComponentBulkEditForm)

* Make mac_address read_only on InterfaceSerializer/VMInterfaceSerializer

* Undo unrelated work

* Cleanup unused IPAddress derived stuff

* API endpoints

* Add serializer objects to interface serializers

* Clean up unnecessary bulk create forms/views/routes

* Add SearchIndex and adjust indexable fields for Interface and VMInterface

* Reorganize MACAddress classes out of association with DeviceComponents

* Move MACAddressSerializer

* Enforce saving only a single is_primary MACAddress per interface/vminterface

* Perform is_primary validation on MACAddress model and just check if one already exists for the interface

* Remove form-level validation

* Fix check for current is_primary setting when reassigning

* Model cleanup

* Documentation notes and cleanup

* Simplify serializer and add ip_addresses

* Add to VMInterfaceSerializer too

* Style cleanup

* Standardize "MAC Address" instead of "MAC"

* Remove unused views

* Add is_primary field for bulk edit

* HTML cleanup and add copy-to-clipboard button

* Remove mac_address from Interface and VMInterface bulk-edit forms

* Add device and VM filtering

* Use combined assigned_object_parent in table to match structure of IPAddressTable

* Add GFK fields to MACAddressSerializer

* Reorganize "Addressing" sections to remove from proximity to "Device Components" and related groupings

* Clean up migrations

* Misc cleanup

* Add filterset test

* Remove mac_address field from interface forms

* Designate primary MAC address via a ForeignKey on the interface models

* Add serializer fields for primary_mac_address

MAC Addresses

A MAC address object in NetBox comprises a single Ethernet link layer address, and represents a MAC address as reported by or assigned to a network interface. MAC addresses can be assigned to device and virtual machine interfaces. A MAC address can be specified as the primary MAC address for a given device or VM interface.

Most interfaces have only a single MAC address, hard-coded at the factory. However, on some devices (particularly virtual interfaces) it is possible to assign additional MAC addresses or change existing ones. For this reason NetBox allows multiple MACAddress objects to be assigned to a single interface.

MAC Address

The 48-bit MAC address, in colon-hexadecimal notation (e.g. aa:bb:cc:11:22:33).
