change rack dimensions from integer to decimal

[goteamkor]

NetBox version

v4.1.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

please change rack dimensions from integer to decimal.

Use case

as odd as it sounds, we have encountered a rack that is 29.5 inches wide. not 29, not 30, 29.5.

Database changes

change rack type outer dimensions "outer width", "outer depth", and "max weight" from int to decimal.

External dependencies

none

I'd say a Decimal makes more sense here (and would be more consistent with existing fields on other models).

that works too. sorry, my quick google search on what kind of programmatic number would support non-whole numbers said floating.
I've edited the FR to reflect decimal.

This would be a breaking change and must be implemented in a minor release.
