add location_id

[urskog84]

lmost every object in the phpIPAM database have the option to set a "location" that's correspond to the ID of the location.

would be nice to have that available int the modules.

address
device
subnet

Example

- name: "Create device"
  codeaffen.phpipam.device:
    username: "admin"
    password: "s3cr3t"
    server_url: "https://ipam.example.com"
    hostname: "leaf-example-01"
    ipaddress: "192.0.2.222"
    location_id: 53          <--- New
    sections:
      - Example Inc.
      - DEVOPS department
    state: present

@urskog84 thank you for rephrasing your feature request. We accept it, but we can't promise to implement it soon. So we also label it with help wanted.

Regarding the implementation, we prefer location as an extra field in the mentioned entity types. The module resolves the name to an ID, which will used to save it to the entity accordingly.

- name: "Create device"
  codeaffen.phpipam.device:
    username: "admin"
    password: "s3cr3t"
    server_url: "https://ipam.example.com"
    hostname: "leaf-example-01"
    ipaddress: "192.0.2.222"
    location: 'my location'          <--- New
    sections:
      - Example Inc.
      - DEVOPS department
    state: present

For anyone who is keen to implement this feature, the logic for resolving names to its IDs exists for various keys.
