Data resource uses hinting to search about terraform-provider-bluecat

@gradinDotCom The hint based search is definitely quirky and not optimal. I based my original workflow off of some internal PowerShell code we have.

I don't want to break the existing data source, but adding a new data source for searchByObjectTypes seems like it might be useful.

@gradinDotCom What if you set type = "IP4Block" on your bluecat_ip4_network-block-range data source? Does that get you the information you want?

Modifying the data source should be a good method to get this. When I read the documentation resources on the Terraform site, I didn't get the impression that was an option. Is that an option today, or are you just thinking about an easy to solve it?

@gradinDotCom You should be able to change the type on the existing bluecat_ip4_network-block-range to control what is returned. That said, I'm not sure how it will handle nested blocks.
