This PR adds the ability to save coordinates not only for devices but also for power feeds, power panels and circuits. In order to achieve this I had to add new models, because the recent coordinate model is only sufficient for devices (caused by foreign keys). Therefore, I needed to add a lot of boilerplate code. In fact, the change is not very big in terms of visible changes, but the boilerplate code leads to many code changes.
Known issue: The coordinate_groups template renders the coordinates_table, which contains device coordinates only. The NetBox framework doesn't support Unions and I found it not worth it to code around that problem, since it's just a nice-to-have table on this view. The alternative would be to simply not display the table at all.
