- Why I did it
To improve ASIC FW upgrade logging and have information about the cause of FW update failure in the log.
- How I did it
Added syslog logger support
In case the FW update has failed the update tool will give the cause of the failure in the output in the last line, starting with "Fail".
When running the tool, in case of a failed update, we will parse the output to retrieve the cause and log it.

- Why I did it
System is stuck on 'starting' state on SimX platform because of infinite loop on 'hw-management-ready.sh' script .
The loop is polling to check if the hw-mgmt sysfs created before proceeding with the flow, for SimX platform the sysfs will never create so the system is not starting properly.
- How I did it
Add a condition to poll on hw-mgmt sysfs only if the switch is real HW and not SimX platform.
- How to verify it
Check "systemctl status hw-management.service" output on a SimX switch with this patch, the state will be "active".

**- Why I did it**
Reduce the time it takes for the ASIC FW burn as part of the automatic FW upgrade procedure.
**- How I did it**
Add -d option to mlxfwmanager tool to use the faster MST device and not the default one which is not the fastest one.
**- How to verify it**
I manually changed ASIC FW followed by reboot command in order for FW upgrade to take place on deinit.
I manually changed ASIC FW followed by hard reset in order for FW upgrade to take place on init.

Install a new FW by specifying FW path (mlnx-fw-upgrade.sh /path/to/FW)
or use default at '/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa'
