Re-evaluate uniqueness of ASN number

[Kircheneer]

Environment

• Nautobot version: 1.5.4
• nautobot-bgp-models version: 0.7.0-beta.1

Proposed Functionality

Remove the unique=True parameter to the ASNField on the ASN model.

Use Case

Re-use of private ASNs between either different locations of the same tenant or possibly between different tenants altogether.

[Kircheneer]

Considerations:

• Validate that two distinct instances of equal-numbered ASNs can't peer?
• How does this affect form rendering?
• How does this affect GraphQL responses?

[Kircheneer]

Could be implemented by adding

• tenant
• location

fields on the model, dropping the uniqueness constraint on the asn field and adding a new one for the combination of location/tenant/asn.

Validate that two distinct instances of ASNs can't peer?

If this is current state, I would think it was incorrect, if this is future state, I am not understanding why this would be helpful?

Good catch - I added the little word "equal-numbered"
