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
Add platform_asic file to each platform folder in sonic-device-data package. The file content will be used as the ground truth of mapping from PLATFORM_STRING to switch ASIC family.
One use case of the mapping is to prevent installing a wrong image, which targets for other ASIC platforms. For example, currently we have several ONIE images naming as sonic-*.bin, it's easy to mistakenly install the wrong image. With this mapping built into image, we could fetch the ONIE platform string, and figure out which ASIC it is using, and check we are installing the correct image.
After this PR merged, each platform vendor has to add one mandatory text file `device/PLATFORM_VENDOR/PLATFORM_STRING/platform_asic`, with the content of the platform's switch ASIC family.
I will update https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki/Porting-Guide after this PR is merged.
You can get a list of the ASIC platforms by `ls -b platform | cat`. Currently the options are
```
barefoot
broadcom
cavium
centec
centec-arm64
generic
innovium
marvell
marvell-arm64
marvell-armhf
mellanox
nephos
p4
vs
```
Also support
```
broadcom-dnx
```
#### How I did it
#### How to verify it
Test one image on DUT. And check the folders under `/usr/share/sonic/device`
This PR has a dependency on community change to move PCIe config files from $PLATFORM/plugin folder to $PLATFORM/ folder
- Why I did it
To support PCIed daemon on Mellanox platforms
- How I did it
Add PCIed config yaml files for all Mellanox platforms
Update pmon daemon config files for SimX platforms
The new feature system health support a platform based configuration file. Add configuration files for all Mellanox platform.
Add a configuration file for SN2700, other platform will use a soft link to it.
mellanox simx platform don't have QSFP sysfs created, this script will cause timeout issue on simx platform
