Convert BaseDriver.*_interfaces to tuples

Use tuples instead of lists as it will be more difficult for developers
to accidentally overwrite/modify the variables.

This was inspired by commit 338651eae5b7c416f04970b9d60f09dc2dab8adb
which was fixing an issue where the base class variables were being
modified accidentally.
