Change Summary
This adds support for packaging the config-sync data into a single command for the http-api, and avoiding the use of get_config_dict for marshalling, use of which resulted in unnecessary reassembly and a technical annoyance when a section was defined by a leaf node. This is an internal change and does not affect the config-sync interface or definitions.
The section
['system', 'timezone']
is added as a demonstration of usefulness.Types of changes
