Interface.get_config() was always a pure helper which exposed a "per interface
type" dictionary which was then fed by the caller to create interfaces by
iproute2 which required additional options during creation time.
Such interfaces had been:
* tunnel
* vxlan
* geneve
* macsec
* wifi
* macvlan / pseudo-ethernet
The code was always duplicated to convert from the VyOS CLI based get_config_dict()
to a dict which can be used to feed iproute2.
This path has been removed and we now always feed in the entire dictionary
retrieved by get_config_dict() or in the interfaces case, it's high-level wrapper
get_interface_dict() to the interface we wan't to create.
This also adds the - personally long awaited - possibility to get rid of the
derived tunnel classes for e.g. GRE, IPIP, IPIP6 and so on.

A lot of derived classes from Interface implemented their own get_config()
method which more or less was the same everywhere. We also hat different
qualifiers like @staticmethod or @classmethod.
This is now changed to only have the @classmethod in Interface base class which
will return the necessary dictionary keys for the required interfaces. This
change is a mid reduction in lines of code which is always a very nice thing!

Every derived class must implement update() to set the interfaces admin
up/down state. This is required to prevend extensive link flaps when e.g.
reconfiguring bond interfaces.

By default MACsec only authenticates traffic but has support for optional
encryption. Encryption can now be enabled using:
set interfaces macsec <interface> encrypt
