If the "create_only_config_db_buffers" exists and is equal to "true" - the buffers will be created according to the config_db configuration (for example BUFFER_QUEUE|* table), otherwise the maximum available buffers (which are read from SAI) will be created, regardless of the CONFIG_DB buffers configuration.

Microsoft ADO 25072916:
How I did it
How to verify it
Why I did it
In an effort to allow people to build a slim version of SONiC to fit on devices to small storage, there is a need to disable some unneeded features.
The docker-gbsyncd are only applicable to devices with external gearboxes and might not apply to devices that need a small image.
It is therefore desirable to have a knob to not include these gbsyncd containers.
Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO (number only):
How I did it
Add a new config INCLUDE_GBSYNCD which is enabled by default to retain the previous behavior.
Setting it to n will not include the platform/components/docker-gbsyncd-*.mk.
How to verify it
Set INCLUDE_GBSYNCD = n and witness that docker-gbsyncd images are not present in the final image.

UT/Manual testing
Why I did it
Running SONiC releases past 202012 has become really challenging on system with small storage devices (4GB).
Some of these devices can also be limited by only having 4GB of RAM which complicates mitigations.
The main contributor to these issues is the SONiC image growth.
Being able to reduce it by some decent amount should allow these systems to run SONiC longer.
It would also reduce some impacts related to space savings mitigations.
Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO (number only):
How I did it
Add a build option to reduce the image size.
The image reduction process is affecting the builds in 2 ways:
change some packages that are installed in the rootfs
apply a rootfs reduction script
The script itself will perform a few steps:
remove file duplication by leveraging hardlinks
under /usr/share/sonic since the symlinks under the device folder are lost during the build.
under /var/lib/docker since the files there will only be mounted ro
remove some extra files (man, docs, licenses, ...)
some image specific space reduction (only for aboot images currently)
The script can later be improved but for now it's reducing the rootfs size by ~30%.
How to verify it
Compare the size of an image with this option enabled and this option enabled.
Expect the fully extracted content to be ~30% less.

#### Why I did it
Fix issue #16533 , telemetry service exit in master and 202305 branches due to no telemetry configs in redis DB.
#### How I did it
Enable default config if no TELEMETRY configs from redis DB.
#### How to verify it
After the fix, telemetry service would work with the following two scenarios:
1. With TELEMETRY config in redis DB, load service configs from DB.
2. No TELEMETRY config in redis DB, use default service configs.
