Revise drop down groupings for cable types

[pmsharp2]

NetBox version

v.4.3.3

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Breaking out from the feature request: #19801 to support multiple new types of coaxial cable by adding additional organization of the cable types drop down.

Current grouping:
copper
Fiber

Suggested grouping:
copper|ethernet
copper|coaxial
copper|other
fiber|multimode
fiber|singlemode
fiber|other
other

Use case

This is really just a readability option, breaking copper cables into types of copper, and fiber into types of fiber.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

We might need to tweak the groups somewhat, but I've opened this for volunteers.
