NetBox 3.2 Support

[ryanmerolle]

NetBox 3.2.0 was just released and has a number of extension improvements.

Furthermore, a NetBox 3.2 plugin tutorial was released

@ryanmerolle I've already been running CI on the devel branch against the 3.2 beta and have just switched it to the final release.

As for the plugin improvements, I don't think that there are any that this plugin can take advantage of.

This was just a courtesy issue I have raised with most plugins in to notify maintainers of the changes. Feel free to close this issue if you like.

For the time being I have disabled the addon.

Hi @dmcken,

Yes, the current package on pypi hasn't been updated yet to support NetBox 3.2. I'll try to get the next version out within the week.

@dmcken I have published 2.0 and (2.1.1 now) which have support for NetBox 3.2.
