ifupdown2 - python 3.12 compability

[d4nys3k]

I noticed ifupdown2 stopped working after upgrading to Python3.12. It fails to bring up all interfaces with: error: main exception: 'RawConfigParser' object has no attribute 'readfp'

According to the documentation, readfp can be replaced by read_file since Python 3.2. Python 3.12 removes this object. After local modification of ifupdown/main.py (see diff below) I managed ifupdown2 to resume operation as expected in my envinronment.
