Support auth_required in PluginMenuItem

[bctiemann]

NetBox version

v4.2.2

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

At present the PluginMenuItem class is missing the auth_required attribute which is present on all regular MenuItems, and which is necessary for controlling whether the plugin's menu items appear in the nav menu. This attribute needs to be defined with a default of False.

Use case

This is necessary because of this code:

netbox/netbox/utilities/templatetags/navigation.py

Lines 24 to 31 in 5cd7c6d

	for menu in MENUS:
	groups = []
	for group in menu.groups:
	items = []
	for item in group.items:
	if getattr(item, 'auth_required', False) and not user.is_authenticated:
	continue
	if not user.has_perms(item.permissions):

Which is what determines whether a menu item is shown in the nav menu. Because auth_required is not present on PluginMenuItem, the check on L29 evaluates to False and the menu item is shown regardless of authentication state.
