Digital Ocean Floating IPs API

As of 16 June 2022, we have renamed the Floating IP product to [Reserved IPs](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#tag/Reserved-IPs). The Reserved IP product's endpoints function the exact same way as Floating IPs. The only difference is the name change throughout the URLs and fields. For example, the `floating_ips` field is now the `reserved_ips` field. The Floating IP endpoints will remain active until fall 2023 before being permanently deprecated. With the exception of the [Projects API](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#tag/Projects), we will reflect this change as an additional field in the responses across the API where the `floating_ip` field is used. For example, the Droplet metadata response will contain the field `reserved_ips` in addition to the `floating_ips` field. Floating IPs retrieved using the Projects API will retain the original name. [DigitalOcean Floating IPs](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/reserved-ips/) are publicly-accessible static IP addresses that can be mapped to one of your Droplets. They can be used to create highly available setups or other configurations requiring movable addresses. Floating IPs are bound to a specific region.
