Allow filtering by Parent device in Interfaces view

[xtprox]

Environment

• Python version: 3.6.9
• NetBox version: 2.7.4

Proposed Functionality

Allow interfaces to be filtered also by Parent device. Field should allow to select multiple devices.

Use Case

We're using tags to mark free/reserved/special interfaces to be able later select them and count/review. Now Netbox displaying all interfaces from all devices that matching criteria such as Name/Region/Site/Tags. Ability to filter by Parent device will help alot to find interfaces with selected tags on one/multiple devices.

Fairly simple. This is somewhat similar to #3122. If there are no objections, I'd like to work on this (I've missed adding filter_for on the site field for device_id, so I'd improve that in the process).

Edit: or just git apply this:

In addition, it might be worth creating ConnectionFilterForm from which CableFilterForm and *ConnectionFilterForm inherit for the sake of consistency (similar thing would need to be done in the filterset), but this may be out of scope of this issue.

Done

Not sure @jeremystretch view on this, but I would probably want this as a separate Issue/PR
