Fixes: #20900

This PR improves the UX for filtering on Selection-type custom fields by allowing users to pick multiple values in the filter form, while keeping the field single-valued everywhere else.

Add a for_filterset_form flag to CustomField.to_form_field() so filter forms can request filter-specific field/widget behavior.
When for_filterset_form=True, render Selection custom fields using a multi-select field/widget (without changing create/edit/bulk-edit behavior).
Update NetBoxModelFilterSetForm to pass for_filterset_form=True when constructing custom-field-backed filter fields.
