specify interface_classes property explicitly on SECoP base classes

The mechanism to calculate the interface_classes automatically
gets more complicated whith the introduction if acquisition
classes. Instead of making the mechanism more complex its simpler
to give them explictly on the classes which correspond to the
predefined SECoP interface classes.
