- Why I did it
Group all SONiC services together and able to manage them together. Will be used in config reload command as much simpler and generic way to restart services.
- How I did it
Add services to sonic.target
- How to verify it
Together with Azure/sonic-utilities#1199
config reload -y

Under certain conditions, the sFlow service can start before
interface configurations are sucessfully applied. This will
cause hsflowd to get a socket error.
This fix ensures all interface configurations are successfully
applied before the sFlow service (hsflowd) starts.
During testing we saw this error from hsflowd if interface configs were not successfully applied before hsflowd started.
ERR sflow#hsflowd: socket sendto error: Network is unreachable
no FLOW samples can be seen. This can be consistently reproducible if you force sFlow service to start before interface-config.service.

The sflow service should not start unless the swss service is started. However, if this service is not started, the sflow service should not attempt to start them, instead it should simply fail to start. Using Requisite=, we will achieve this behavior, whereas using Requires= will cause the required service to be started.
Introduce a new "sflow" container (if ENABLE_SFLOW is set). The new docker will include:
hsflowd : host-sflow based daemon is the sFlow agent
psample : Built from libpsample repository. Useful in debugging sampled packets/groups.
sflowtool : Locally dump sflow samples (e.g. with a in-unit collector)
In case of SONiC-VS, enable psample & act_sample kernel modules.
VS' syncd needs iproute2=4.20.0-2~bpo9+1 & libcap2-bin=1:2.25-1 to support tc-sample
tc-syncd is provided as a convenience tool for debugging (e.g. tc-syncd filter show ...)
