Pull request overview

Adds SDK support for NodeBalancer type and backend_connectivity by exposing them as read-only model properties, documenting the new create-time parameters, and extending tests/fixtures to cover IPv6 backend address formats and the new response fields.

Changes:

• Expose NodeBalancer.type and NodeBalancer.backend_connectivity as read-only properties and ensure they are omitted from PUT payloads.
• Document type, backend_connectivity, vpcs, and configs on NodeBalancer creation, and update node address documentation to include IPv6 bracketed formats.
• Expand unit/integration test coverage and fixtures to validate the new fields and IPv6 node address forwarding.
