The ietf-interfaces module got updated and more nodes were added into
the tree. This is a rather normal procedure. (There never was a
requirement that config/state trees had to be split - this was just
the best thing we could do originally for ietf-interfaces.)

Clients only interested in config nodes can use the "content" query
parameter with the value "config" (RFC 8040 section 4.8.1). If clients
use the default "all", well then they get all.
