94fa239 [y_cable] refactor y_cable to a seperate logic and new daemon from xcvrd (#219)
Why I did it
This PR separates the logic of Y-Cable from xcvrd. Before this change we were utilizing xcvrd daemon to control all aspects of Y-Cable right from initialization to processing requests from other entities like orch,linkmgr.
Now we would have another daemon ycabled which will serve this purpose.
Logically everything still remains the same from the perspective of other daemons.
it also take care aspects like init/delete daemon from Y-Cable perspective.
How I did it
To serve the purpose we build a new wheel sonic_ycabled-1.0-py3-none-any.whl and install it inside pmon.
We also initalize the daemon ycabled which serves our purpose for refactor inside pmon
How to verify it
Ran the changes with an image for dualtor tests on a 7050cx3 platform

Why I did it
"chassis_db_init" task of PMON should be skipped on Mellanox simx platform, since the hardware info which this task is trying to access is not available on simx platforms, It will introduce some error log.
How I did it
Add the capability for "chassis_db_init" in the template for it can be skipped by adding configuration in "pmon_daemon_control.json".
add "skip_chassis_db_init" configuration for simx platforms.
use symbol link for "pmon_daemon_control.json" since all the simx platforms share the same configuration
How to verify it
Build an image and install it on simx platform to check whether "chassis_db_init" task is skipped.

Why I did it
Pcied running by python 2.
How I did it
dropped python2 support and add python3 support for pcied in file docker-pmon.supervisord.conf.j2
How to verify it
docker exec pmon supervisorctl status
I added `chassis_db_init` to the startup tasks for the `docker-platform-monitor` docker so that the script is run on startup of the switch and the chassis info is correctly provisioned to STATE_DB.

**- Why I did it**
Ledd is the last daemon that is not enabled to run in python3.
Even though there is a plan to deprecate this daemon and to replace it by something else it's one simple step toward python2 deprecation.
**- How I did it**
Changed the `command=` line for `ledd` in the `supervisord` configuration of `pmon`.
Copied what was done for other daemons.
**- How to verify it**
Booting a product that has a `led_control.py` should now show the ledd running in python3.
I ran `python3 -m pylint` on all `led_control.py` plugin which means that most of them should be python3 compliant.
There is however still a risk that some might not work.
- Why I did it
Initially, we used Monit to monitor critical processes in each container. If one of critical processes was not running
or crashed due to some reasons, then Monit will write an alerting message into syslog periodically. If we add a new process
in a container, the corresponding Monti configuration file will also need to update. It is a little hard for maintenance.
Currently we employed event listener of Supervisod to do this monitoring. Since processes in each container are managed by
Supervisord, we can only focus on the logic of monitoring.
- How I did it
We borrowed the event listener of Supervisord to monitor critical processes in containers. The event listener will take
following steps if it was notified one of critical processes exited unexpectedly:
The event listener will first check whether the auto-restart mechanism was enabled for this container or not. If auto-restart mechanism was enabled, event listener will kill the Supervisord process, which should cause the container to exit and subsequently get restarted.
If auto-restart mechanism was not enabled for this contianer, the event listener will enter a loop which will first sleep 1 minute and then check whether the process is running. If yes, the event listener exits. If no, an alerting message will be written into syslog.
- How to verify it
First, we need checked whether the auto-restart mechanism of a container was enabled or not by running the command show feature status. If enabled, one critical process should be selected and killed manually, then we need check whether the container will be restarted or not.
Second, we can disable the auto-restart mechanism if it was enabled at step 1 by running the commnad sudo config feature autorestart <container_name> disabled. Then one critical process should be selected and killed. After that, we will see the alerting message which will appear in the syslog every 1 minute.

python2 is end of life and SONiC is going to support python3. This PR is going to support:
1. Build pmon daemons with python3
2. Install and run python3 version pmon daemons
**- How I did it**
1. Change pmon daemons make files to build bothe python2 and python3 whl
2. Change docker-platform-monitor make files to install both python2 and python3 whl
3. Change pmon docker startup files to start pmon daemons according to the supported platform API version

Introducing chassisd process to monitor status of the control, line and fabric cards in a modular chassis.
- Why I did it
Modular Chassis has control-cards, line-cards and fabric-cards along with other peripherals. Chassisd will be a central entity that has visibility of the entire chassis.
- How I did it
Chassisd process will monitor cards in the main thread. Another configuation_handling_task is created to listen to CONFIG_DB for admin_status up/down events. The monitored status is persisted in REDIS-DB.
**- Why I did it**
We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers
Increase startretires value from default of 10 to 50 to prevent supervisor from placing thermalctld in FATAL state during regression testing. Also ensures supervisord tries hard to get thermalctld running in production, as thermalctld is critical to prevent device from overheating.
When stopping the swss, pmon or bgp containers, log messages like the following can be seen:
```
Aug 23 22:50:43.789760 sonic-dut INFO swss#supervisord 2020-08-23 22:50:10,061 ERRO pool dependent-startup event buffer overflowed, discarding event 34
Aug 23 22:50:43.789760 sonic-dut INFO swss#supervisord 2020-08-23 22:50:10,063 ERRO pool dependent-startup event buffer overflowed, discarding event 35
Aug 23 22:50:43.789760 sonic-dut INFO swss#supervisord 2020-08-23 22:50:10,064 ERRO pool dependent-startup event buffer overflowed, discarding event 36
Aug 23 22:50:43.789760 sonic-dut INFO swss#supervisord 2020-08-23 22:50:10,066 ERRO pool dependent-startup event buffer overflowed, discarding event 37
```
This is due to the number of programs in the container managed by supervisor, all generating events at the same time. The default event queue buffer size in supervisor is 10. This patch increases that value in all containers in order to eliminate these errors. As more programs are added to the containers, we may need to further adjust these values. I increased all buffer sizes to 25 except for containers with more programs or templated supervisor.conf files which allow for a variable number of programs. In these cases I increased the buffer size to 50. One final exception is the swss container, where the buffer fills up to ~50, so I increased this buffer to 100.

As part of migrating all Python-based package installers to wheel format rather than Debian packages. Also to allow for easily building a Python 3 version of the package in the near future. ledd and psud were converted in earlier PRs. This PR converts the remainder:
- pcied
- syseepromd
- thermalctld
- xcvrd

- Also remove some references to sonic-daemon-base which I previously missed and add missing sonic-py-common dependency for sonic-pcied.
