Why I did it
Support to use symbol links in platform folder to reduce the image size.
The current solution is to copy each lazy installation targets (xxx.deb files) to each of the folders in the platform folder. The size will keep growing when more and more packages added in the platform folder. For cisco-8000 as an example, the size will be up to 2G, while most of them are duplicate packages in the platform folder.
How I did it
Create a new folder in platform/common, all the deb packages are copied to the folder, any other folders where use the packages are the symbol links to the common folder.
Why platform.tar?
We have implemented a patch for it, see #10775, but the problem is the the onie use really old unzip version, cannot support the symbol links.
The current solution is similar to the PR 10775, but make the platform folder into a tar package, which can be supported by onie. During the installation, the package.tar will be extracted to the original folder and removed.
If it is run during image install, it's not guaranteed that the
installation environment will have tune2fs available. Therefore, run it
during initramfs instead.

Reduce the disk space taken up during bootup and runtime.
1. Remove python package cache from the base image and from the containers.
2. During bootup, if logs are to be stored in memory, then don't create the `var-log.ext4` file just to delete it later during bootup.
3. For the partition containing `/host`, don't reserve any blocks for just the root user. This just makes sure all disk space is available for all users, if needed during upgrades (for example).
* Remove pip2 and pip3 caches from some containers
Only containers which appeared to have a significant pip cache size are
included here.

(cherry picked from commit 5617b1ae3e)
#### Why I did it
The test plan described in the `How to verify it` section caused an issue when 3 images (instead of 2) were present when executing `show boot` or `sonic-installer list` commands:
```
root@sonic:/home/admin# show boot
Current: SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
Next: SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
Available:
SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
SONiC-OS-202012.201-a0376a6e5_Internal
SONiC-OS-202012.201-a0376a6e5_Internal_RPC
```
#### How I did it
Fixed the `sed` pattern to match the current image revision in the `install.sh` script.
#### How to verify it
Test plan:
1. Install the `imageA` by using ONIE
2. Install the `imageA-rpc` by using `sonic-installer`
3. Reboot the switch
4. Swap to the `imageA` - `sonic-installer set-default imageA`
5. Reboot the switch
6. Install the `imageB` by using `sonic-installer`
7. Check an installed images - `show boot`
8. Reboot the switch
9. Check an installed images - `show boot`
This improvement reads current SONiC version directly from `/proc/cmdline`.
it supports `grub/aboot/uboot` bootloaders.
**Code snippet**:
```bash
cat /proc/cmdline | sed -n 's/^.*loop=\/*image-\(\S\+\)\/.*$/\1/p'
```
**Description**:
```
-n don't print lines
s substitute
^.* matches anything before the <image_version>
loop= matches <loop> kernel parameter
\/*image- matches <image_version> prefix
\(\S\+\) matches <image_version> group and assigns it to \1
\/.*$ matches anything after the <image_version>
\1 replace everything with <image_version>
p print it
```

Usually for a use case like networking - should not be configured to reach c6, the maximum used is c1e – due to the added latency getting in & out of states (bad for networking).
Following a recommendation by Intel, networking system should avoid getting in & out of states which introduce latency. The recommended state is c1e and no state change enabling.
In addition, c-state sole purpose is to save power and when inside a networking switch its really negligent being such a tiny consumer vs. the whole cluster.

moving to initramfs unifies disk allocate on different platforms.
use fallocate instead of dd to speed up the disk allocation.
By default, mkfs.ext4 has -E discard option which discards the blocks
at the mkfs time, also speed up the initialization time.
1. "make target/sonic-broadcom.raw" will create the compressed dd'able image.
2. This will also update the grub config files (device/dell/*/nos_to_sonic_grub.cfg) with the image versions.
