Create a firewall device

Creates a Firewall Device, which assigns a Firewall to a service (referred to as the Device's entity) and applies the Firewall's Rules to the device.

• Currently, Devices with linode and nodebalancer entity types are accepted.

• Firewalls only apply to inbound TCP traffic to NodeBalancers.

• A Firewall can be assigned to multiple services at a time.

• A service can have one assigned Firewall at a time.

• Assigned Linodes must not have any ongoing live migrations.

• A firewall_device_add Event is generated when the Firewall Device is added successfully.
