Manually cherry-picking #11893
- Why I did it
The timer execution may fail if triggered during a config reload (when the sonic.target is stopped). This might happen in a rare situation if config reload is executed after reboot in a small time slot (for 0 to 30 seconds) before the tacacs-config timer is triggered:
systemctl status tacacs-config.timer
tacacs-config.timer - Delays tacacs apply until SONiC has started
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/tacacs-config.timer; enabled-runtime; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: resources) since Mon 2022-08-29 15:53:03 IDT; 1min 28s ago
Trigger: n/a

- How I did it
To ensure that timer execution will be resumed after a config reload the WantedBy section of the systemd service is updated to describe relation to sonic.target.
- How to verify it
Reboot the system
After reboot monitor tacacs-config.timer status. 30 seconds before timer activation run "config reload -y" command.
Check system status.

Why I did it
In upgrade scenarios, where config_db.json is not carry forwarded to new image, it could be left w/o TACACS credentials.
Added a service to trigger 5 minutes after boot and restore TACACS, if /etc/sonic/old_config/tacacs.json is present.
How I did it
By adding a service, that would fire 5 mins after boot.
This service apply tacacs if available.
How to verify it
Upgrade and watch status of tacacs.timer & tacacs.service
You may create /etc/sonic/old_config/tacacs.json, with updated credentials
(before 5mins after boot) and see that appears in config & persisted too.
