Unable to Add Additional Extensible Attribute to infoblox_ip_allocation Resource with IPv6

[ppieprzycki]

When attempting to add an additional extensible attribute (ext_attr) to an existing infoblox_ip_allocation resource using an IPv6 CIDR, the operation results in a crash.

This issue only occurs when using an IPv6 address. When using IPv4, the issue is not present.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Define the infoblox_ip_allocation resource with an initial ext_attr and an IPv6 address.

resource "infoblox_ip_allocation" "test_ip" {
  provider = infoblox.static
  ipv6_cidr = "2a00:1111:2222:3333:3::/80"
  fqdn  = "testip.testzone.io"
  enable_dns = false
  comment = "managed by tf"
  ext_attrs = jsonencode(
    {
        "ExtAttr1" = 10      
    }
  )
}

2. Apply the configuration with terraform apply and verify the resource.

3. Modify the ext_attrs by adding an additional attribute (e.g., ExtAttr2).

  ~ resource "infoblox_ip_allocation" "test_ip" {
      ~ ext_attrs           = jsonencode(
          ~ {
              + ExtAttr2    = 10
                # (1 unchanged element hidden)
            }
        )
        id                  = "..."
        # (10 unchanged attributes hidden)
    }

4. Attempt to apply the updated configuration.

Expected Behavior: Terraform should update the resource with the new extensible attribute without errors.

Actual Behavior: Terraform crashes with the following stack trace:
