Proposed Functionality

Make the api call /api/ipam/prefixes/ID return the parent and child prefixes for the prefix.

Use Case

It is currently rendered on the page for the prefix but not in the API, it would be really helpful to be able to make a tree based on these prefixes. Also for use cases where we are only interested in very general or very specific prefixes. For example I would want to get all prefixes with no parents to get the large prefixes.

Database Changes

This should already be available in the database since it can be displayed on the web version of netbox.

External Dependencies

None that I'm aware of
