GraphQL: Add device_type as a filter for device_list / device

NetBox version

v3.2.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently, you can only filter device_type_id in the graphql filters. It would be good to filter on either the slug or the name of device_type. It actually looks like this function is missing from the normal rest api also.

Current way to filter on device_type:

{
  device_list(device_type_id: "11") {
    id
    name
    device_type {
      id
    }
  }
}

Requested approach:

{
  device_list(device_type: "<insert slug OR model>") {
    id
    name
    device_type {
      id
    }
  }
}

Use case

Often individuals do not know the id, so its hard to pass said value if you do not know it.

Frankly this just further sets graphql API standardization since this is already supported for device_role (you can filter on it like below):

{
  device_list(role: "patch-panel") {
    id
    name
    device_type {
      id
      model
      slug
    }
    device_role {
      id
      slug
    }
  }
}
