Why I did it
For trident4/tomahawk4, linux_ngknet.ko and linux_ngknetcb.ko have to be installed. Also, the kernel modules to load on such chips are different from existing ones, so we add an option is_ltsw_chip to determine the kernel modules to load. The option is_ltsw_chip is controlled by adding 'is_ltsw_chip=1' to platform_env.conf or not.
How to verify it
We verified that existing platforms still work after this change; and for platforms with trident4/tomahawk4, we can load the different kernel modules as expected after adding 'is_ltsw_chip=1' to platform_env.conf
Why I did it
Update Broadcom SAI to version 6.0.0.13, SDK 6.5.24, saibcm-modules to 6.5.24.gpl
How I did it
Brcm SAI 6.0 EA with fixes for CS00012203367, CS00012219613, CS00012213974, CS00012218290, CS00012217169, CS00012211718, CS00012213944, CS00012215529, CS00012218100, CS00012214196, CS00012212681, CS00012205138, CS00012208537, CS00012185316, CS00012208524, CS00012203367, CS00012197364.
Add an include in saibcm-modules and saibcm-modules-dnx that are now
needed due to Mellanox kernel patches.

The kernel already provides psample, and with module versioning being
done in modpost, having the SDK compile its own copy of psample breaks
loading dependent modules.

Update the build rules in saibcm-modules to use the 5.10 kernel instead
of searching for the 4.19 kernel. In addition, some code changes were
done to get it to compile. The main categories of such changes are as
follows:
* For /proc files, `struct file_operations` has been replaced with
`struct proc_ops`.
* Y2038 changes to use the new APIs, since `do_gettimeofday()` is no
longer available.
* Minor changes in how external kernel module symbols are read by
modpost.

Why I did it
Update XGS and DNX SAI to 5.0.0.4 and additional flags needed in saibcm-modules
The following CSP's are merged in 5.0.0.4
CS00012182148 [4.3] Rate Limit Parity error message to syncd/sonic.
CS00012178692 [4.3] ACL drops counted as interface drops
CS00012183901 [4.3][WARMBOOT] WARMReboot with active traffic causes port flap reported during warm reboot
CS00012070713 [SAI 4.3 , DNX, 8690] Everflow ACL creation fails - brcm_sai_dnx_create_acl_table API fails, with unknown attribute error.

CS00012019578 [4.4] Pre FEC bit-error rate (BER) - DNX and XGS (TD and TH 50/100G)
How I did it
Changes the various make files to include the new SAI release + update the opennsl-modules.
Why I did it
We hit an issue recently in the chassis bringup where the linux bde attach failed with the following ioctl error.
[ 9058.585960] linux-user-bde (897363): Error: Invalid ioctl (00004c1d)
[ 9105.668237] linux-user-bde (901002): Error: Invalid ioctl (00004c1d)
Debugged with Broadcom team, who suggested to use this flag BCM_INSTANCE_SUPPORT to support multi-instance scenarios ( platforms with more than one asic where there are separate sai/syncd docker instances running controller each asic instance).
This flag was introduced since SDK-6.5.21 and need to be present in SAI and SAI GPL kernel module makefile.
How I did it
Add the flag in this flag BCM_INSTANCE_SUPPORT in gpl modules
Introduce new sonic-buildimage images for Broadcom DNX ASIC family.
sonic-broadcom-dnx.bin
sonic-aboot-broadcom-dnx.swi
How I did it
NO CHANGE to existing make commands
make init; make configure PLATFORM=broadcom; make target/sonic-aboot-broadcom.swi; make target/sonic-broadcom.bin
The difference now is that it will result in new broadcom images for DNX asic family as well.
sonic-broadcom.bin, sonic-broadcom-dnx.bin
sonic-aboot-broadcom.swi, sonic-aboot-broadcom-dnx.swi
Note: This PR also adds support for Broadcom SAI 5.0 (based on 1.8 SAI ) for DNX based platform + changes in platform x86_64-arista_7280cr3_32p4 bcm config files and platform_env.conf files
Added support BRCM SAI 5.0.0.1.

- Add .gitignore files in each subdirectory of src/, so as to reduce the size of the .gitignore file in the project root, and also make it easier to maintain (i.e., if a directory in src/ is removed, there will not be outdated entries in the root .gitignore file.
- Also add missing .gitignore entries and remove outdated entries and duplicates.
