Environment
Python version: 3.5.6
NetBox version: 2.5.8

Proposed Functionality
In Devices -> Cables, add a column that shows the port type (front/back/interface) for fast and easy viewing.

Use Case
This would allow an operator to easily know which side of each patchpanel a cable is connected to. Even someone new would be able to get this information quickly and accurately.

This is typically going to be conveyed by context (device and component name). Adding columns to state the types explicitly strikes me as overly verbose.
