As part of consolidating all common Python-based functionality into the new sonic-py-common package, this pull request:
1. Redirects all Python applications/scripts in sonic-buildimage repo which previously imported sonic_device_util or sonic_daemon_base to instead import sonic-py-common, which was added to the 201911 branch in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5063
2. Replaces all calls to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()` to instead call `sonic_py_common.get_platform()` and removes any calls to `sonic_device_util.get_machine_info()` which are no longer necessary (i.e., those which were only used to pass the results to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()`.
3. Removes unused imports to the now-deprecated sonic-daemon-base package and sonic_device_util.py module
This is a step toward resolving https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/issues/4999
Consolidate common SONiC Python-language functionality into one shared package (sonic-py-common) and eliminate duplicate code.
The package currently includes four modules:
- daemon_base
- device_info
- logger
- task_base
NOTE: This is a combination of all changes from https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5003, https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5049 and some changes from https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5043 backported to align with the 201911 branch. As part of the 201911 port, I am not installing the Python 3 package in the base image or in the VS container, because we do not have pip3 installed, and we do not intend to migrate to Python 3 in 201911.
