Feature Request: Deprecate ASN model in favor of NetBox 3.1.0 ASN model

[ryanmerolle]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
NetBox 3.1.0 added the new ASN model allowing you to specify multiple sites to an ASN. It would be ideal to leverage said model, and extend it in the same way you have within this BGP plugin.

Describe the solution you'd like
Deprecate the custom plugin model for ASNs and leverage the core NetBox model. The only difference between the two is that the core model allows for:

• multiple sites per ASN
• tenant group assignments for ASNs
• An RIR association

IE that means no current attribute of the netbox-plugin model would be missing.

Sessions would just be linked to the NetBox core model of ASN.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep the two separate and continue confusion within the API and UI.

There's also a conflict between the native ASNTable and the plugins' ASNTable interface configuration settings.
The thing is that a native one has the 'asn' field that is representing the number of AS, while the plugin has the 'number' field for that purpose. Each time I'm changing the table display setting for each table it rewrites the settings for another one.
