[202205] [sonic_py_common] Cache Static Information in device_info to speed up CLI response (#11866)

* [sonic_py_common] Cache Static Information in device_info to speed up CLI response (#11696)

- Why I did it
Profiled the execution for the following cmd intfutil -c status

- How I did it
Cached the following information:
1. get_sonic_version_info()
2. get_platform_info()
None of the API exposed to the user libraries (for eg: sonic-utilities) has been modified
These methods involve reading text files or from redis. Thus, caching helped to improve the execution time

- How to verify it
Added UT's.
Verified on the device

* Removed UT since libswsscommom dep is missing in <=202205
