Fixes: #21144

Summary

Enable specifying a mask length when creating IP addresses via the available-ips REST API endpoint.

Changes

Updated AvailableIPAddressesView to use PrefixLengthSerializer as write_serializer_class
Enhanced PrefixLengthSerializer to support both 'prefix' and 'parent' context keys
Added validation to ensure requested prefix_length >= parent.mask_length
Updated prep_object_data to use requested prefix_length if provided, otherwise fall back to parent.mask_length for backwards compatibility
Updated API schema documentation

Example Usage

curl -X POST
-H "Authorization: Bearer "
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
http://netbox/api/ipam/prefixes/123/available-ips/
--data '{"prefix_length": 32}'
