If a parameter is required is determined from the Python string on commit.
This "indicator" is not used consistently and sometimes missing, or added where
it is not required anymore due to Python script improvement/rewrite.

Since introducing the XML <defaultValue> node it was common, but redundant,
practice to also add a help string indicating which value would be used as
default if the node is unset.
This makes no sense b/c it's duplicated code/value/characters and prone to
error. The node.def scripts should be extended to automatically render the
appropriate default value into the CLI help string.
For e.g. SSH the current PoC renders:
$ cat templates-cfg/service/ssh/port/node.def
multi:
type: txt
help: Port for SSH service (default: 22)
val_help: u32:1-65535; Numeric IP port
...
Not all subsystems are already migrated to get_config_dict() and make use of
the defaults() call - those subsystems need to be migrated, first before the new
default is added to the CLI help.

A lot of XML code is duplicated (VLAN, interface address) for instance. Such
XML definitions should be moved to feature.xml.i files and then just pulled in
via GCC preprocessor #include definition in e.g. bond or ethernet definitions.
This will give us the ability to single-source repeating node definitions as:
* Interface Address
* Interface Description
* Interface Disable
* VLAN (both vif-s and vif-c)
The .in suffix of the interface-definitions is a marker that those files are
input files to the GCC preprocessor. They will be rendered into proper XML
files in the build directory.
Some node definitions have been reworder to remove escaped double quote
occurances which would have been warned about by the GCC preprocessor.
