Device Name is not Preserved in Changelog for Cable Deletion

[Omega5109]

NetBox version

v3.7.8, also tested on demo instance @v4.1.3

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When a cable is deleted, three changelog entries are created, one for the cable and two for each of its terminations. However, only the interface name is preserved and not the name of the device it was connected to. Example: dcim | cable termination Cable #226 to xe-0/0/0:3 deleted by user

Use case

This addresses a need to restore mistakenly deleted data from the changelog, which would be the express purpose of a changelog. The A side device and B side device need to be preserved in the changelog entry for data recovery purposes. Only storing interface name renders this impossible in a sea of devices using the same interface naming scheme.

Database changes

No database changes are necessary. The data is present at cable.a_terminations[0].device and is simply not stored within changelog entries.
