PPPoE wasn't removed, which led to some refactoring to find
out why.  The outcome is the same, but works a little bit
different now.  While there, make it possible to omit the
config write in case we are going to call write_config()
shortly after anyway.

This will also be necessary for the legacy VPN plugins.

The custom scrub rules on the normalization settings page effectively
cannot be reached since the standard interface scrub rules are listed
first.

This patch swaps that order around so that custom scrub rules get
evaluated first.

"index.php*" match in dashboard privileges overlays a bit
with "index.php?logout" so that we'll have to hardcode an
exception for now.  Other approaches to be taken here mid-
term are 'visibility="always"' in Menu.xml or restructure
the logout link under /ui/logout or /logout.php.

(config/interfaces) some older configurations use <enabled/> in stead of our current standard <enabled>1</enabled>. to avoid new issues, its better to convert when only set.
