[2.x, CLI] Cannot update interface IP assignment mode

[Peter Matulis]

Updating the IP assignment mode (DHCP, AUTO, STATIC, LINK_UP) does not seem to be possible via the CLI. It is not documented via 'maas $PROFILE interface update -h' and the below guess appears to work (no error) but does not:

$ maas $PROFILE interface update $SYSTEM_ID $INT_ID mode=$LINK_MODE

For example,

$ maas $PROFILE interface read nxfsff 40 | grep mode
                "rdns_mode": 2,
            "mode": "dhcp"

$ maas $PROFILE interface update nxfsff 40 mode=auto

$ maas $PROFILE interface read nxfsff 40 | grep mode
                "rdns_mode": 2,
            "mode": "dhcp"

YOu need to use the 'interface' endpoint with 'link-subnet': e.g.

maas admin interface link-subnet d77f3f 63 mode=AUTO subnet=10.248.64.0/19

Although I was using the wrong command, the bug remains valid: I cannot update, I need to destroy and create with 'unlink-subnet' and 'link-subnet'. This is inconsistent with the update capabilities of other commands.

Comment: The unlink command requires the system_id, the interface_id, and the link_id. This is painful. It would be nice to make this easier. Like gaining a command that provides IDs for various things.
