[PR #11995/02b969ee backport][stable-12] cobbler_system: fix KeyError when adding new interface to existing system (#12003)

cobbler_system: fix `KeyError` when adding new interface to existing system (#11995)

* fix(cobbler_system): handle missing interface device on existing system

When adding a new interface to an existing Cobbler system that does not
yet have that interface defined, the module raised a KeyError. Use .get()
with a fallback empty dict to safely handle that case. Also add a
continue after the unknown-property warning to prevent a secondary
KeyError on IFPROPS_MAPPING lookup.

Fixes: #7007



* chore(cobbler_system): add changelog fragment for #11995
