feat(dcim): Add enabled field to Module and Device bays

Add an `enabled` boolean field to ModuleBay, ModuleBayTemplate,
DeviceBay, and DeviceBayTemplate models. Disabled bays prevent component
installation and display accordingly in the UI. Update serializers,
filters, forms, and tables to support the new field.

Fixes #20152

 # Module Bays
 
-Module bays represent a space or slot within a device in which a field-replaceable [module](./module.md) may be installed. A common example is that of a chassis-based switch such as the Cisco Nexus 9000 or Juniper EX9200. Modules in turn hold additional components that become available to the parent device.
