ifconfig: T2653: remove duplicates of get_config()

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!
