- Why I did it
If multiple Vlans are configured to have DHCPv6 relay, only one relay instance is able to capture DHCP packets received from upstream, this is as a result of kernel design to operate this way (SO_REUSEPORT).
DHCPv6 transmit unicast packets to clients, only multicast packets can be captured on multiple application listening on the same UDP port.
This issue causing only one Vlan interface to get packets from servers.
- How I did it
Change the design to neglect Vlan isolation and run only one relay instance serving all Vlans with all configured DHCP servers.
- How to verify it
Run DHCPv6 relay test with 2 Vlans configured do have a DHCP relay.

Why I did it
Currently SONiC use the 'isc-dhcp-relay' package to allow DHCP relay functionality on IPv4 networks only.
This will allow the IPv6 functionality along the IPv4 type.
How I did it
Edit supervisord template to start DHCPv6 instances when configured to do so on Config DB.
Align cfg unit test to the new change.
Add DHCPv6 relay minigraph parsing support and a suitable t0 topology xml file for UT.
How to verify it
Configure DHCPv6 agents as described on the feature HLD: Azure/SONiC#765
Test it with real client/server with IPv6 or use the dedicated automatic test: Azure/sonic-mgmt#3565
