#### Why I did it
Add platform_asic file to each platform folder in sonic-device-data package. The file content will be used as the ground truth of mapping from PLATFORM_STRING to switch ASIC family.
One use case of the mapping is to prevent installing a wrong image, which targets for other ASIC platforms. For example, currently we have several ONIE images naming as sonic-*.bin, it's easy to mistakenly install the wrong image. With this mapping built into image, we could fetch the ONIE platform string, and figure out which ASIC it is using, and check we are installing the correct image.
After this PR merged, each platform vendor has to add one mandatory text file `device/PLATFORM_VENDOR/PLATFORM_STRING/platform_asic`, with the content of the platform's switch ASIC family.
I will update https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki/Porting-Guide after this PR is merged.
You can get a list of the ASIC platforms by `ls -b platform | cat`. Currently the options are
```
barefoot
broadcom
cavium
centec
centec-arm64
generic
innovium
marvell
marvell-arm64
marvell-armhf
mellanox
nephos
p4
vs
```
Also support
```
broadcom-dnx
```
#### How I did it
#### How to verify it
Test one image on DUT. And check the folders under `/usr/share/sonic/device`
Add device and platform code for ix7-bwde, ix8a-bwde.
Support platform API 2.0 for all quanta platforms except for ix1b

BRCM SDK 6.5.21 includes firmware updates (premier cancun) for TD3 platforms. The firmware update is required on TD3 platforms, which is packaged with BCMSAI 4.3.0.10.
**- How I did it**
Updated BCM config with a new variable that specifies the firmware package path. SDK uses this path to locate firmware packages and load during cold boot.

- Also fix Python 3-related issues:
- Use integer (floor) division in config_samples.py (sonic-config-engine)
- Replace print statement with print function in eeprom.py plugin for x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0 platform
- Update all platform plugins to be compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3
- Remove shebangs from plugins files which are not intended to be executable
- Replace tabs with spaces in Python plugin files and fix alignment, because Python 3 is more strict
- Remove trailing whitespace from plugins files
However in SAI 3.7 default behaviout got changes to 128 Group and 128
Memeber each.
This change is to make sure we are using same ECMP Group/Memeber Per
Group for 3.7 also so that behaviour is consistent.

as needed by SAI 3.7 and above. Without this change
Warmboot fails from 3.5 to 3.7 as Braodcoam Datastructure
gets corrupted after warm-boot.
