v0.5.0 not compatible with Netbox prior to v4.5.2

[mathieued]

Plugin Version

v0.5.0

NetBox Version

v4.4.10

Python Version

v3.11.11

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Netbox v4.4.10
2. Install netbox-custom-objects plugin v0.5.0
3. Apply migration to the database with ./manage.py migrate

Expected Behavior

Migration should run smooth and not generate any errors.

Observed Behavior

An error is generated because Netbox v4.5.1 and older doesn't have the get_config_value_ci method in the utilities.data python file.

Here is the output of the error:

This method has been added in Netbox v4.5.2 and used in the netbox_custom_objects/models.py file.
Not sure if a fix is necessary, or at least an update to the compatibility matrix file.
