Why I did it
The directory /var/warmboot as top directory for warmboot feature is also needed in docker gbsyncd. Some vendor SAI might save data under it. Without it, the SAI init/creation API failure has happened on PikeZ platform.
How I did it
Mount host directory /host/warmboot as /var/warmboot in docker gbsyncd, which is same as what it has done on docker syncd.
The start template script that this value is used in will determine what
network namespace to use, and will add --net=host if it needs to run in
the host namespace.
With Docker 20.10, if --net=host is specified twice in docker run, then
it errors out. Therefore, remove the explicit --net=host in the run
options setting and let the start template script specify it.

This change is to add a gbsyncd container to accommodate the syncd process and the SAI libraries for the Credo gearbox chips.
How I did it
This container works similar to the existing Broadcom syncd container. Its main difference is that the SAI-related dynamic libraries are replaced by the ones for Credo gearbox chips, and the container only reacts to SAI events for the gearbox chips. The SAI libraries will be provided by the package libsai-credo_1.0_amd64.deb.
For the image build, the added container will be built and included in the Broadcom platform image, after $(LIBSAI_CREDO)_URL = is replaced to the correct value. For now, as $(LIBSAI_CREDO)_URL is empty, the container build is skipped in the image build.
After the container is included in the image, in the runtime, the container will begin with checking the existence of /usr/share/sonic/hwsku/gearbox_config.json; if that file is not provided, the container will exit by itself. Therefore, for platforms unrelated to the Credo chips, as long as they are not providing the file, they will not be affected by this change.
* buildimage: Add gearbox phy device files and a new physyncd docker to support VS gearbox phy feature
* scripts and configuration needed to support a second syncd docker (physyncd)
* physyncd supports gearbox device and phy SAI APIs and runs multiple instances of syncd, one per phy in the device
* support for VS target (sonic-sairedis vslib has been extended to support a virtual BCM81724 gearbox PHY).

**- Why I did it**
This work is part of the gearbox phy joint effort between Microsoft and Broadcom, and is based
on multi-switch support in sonic-sairedis.
**- How I did it**
Overall feature was implemented across several projects. The collective pull requests (some in late stages of review at this point):
https://github.com/Azure/sonic-utilities/pull/931 - CLI (merged)
https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss-common/pull/347 - Minor changes (merged)
https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss/pull/1321 - gearsyncd, config parsers, changes to orchargent to create gearbox phy on supported systems
https://github.com/Azure/sonic-sairedis/pull/624 - physyncd, virtual BCM81724 gearbox phy added to vslib
**- How to verify it**
In a vslib build:
root@sonic:/home/admin# show gearbox interfaces status
PHY Id Interface MAC Lanes MAC Lane Speed PHY Lanes PHY Lane Speed Line Lanes Line Lane Speed Oper Admin

In addition, docker ps | grep phy should show a physyncd docker running.
