Applications running in the host OS can read the platform identifier from /host/machine.conf. When loading configuration, sonic-config-engine *needs* to read the platform identifier from machine.conf, as it it responsible for populating the value in Config DB.
When an application is running inside a Docker container, the machine.conf file is not accessible, as the /host directory is not mounted. So we need to retrieve the platform identifier from Config DB if get_platform() is called from inside a Docker
container. However, we can't simply check that we're running in a Docker container because the host OS of the SONiC virtual switch is running inside a Docker container. So I refactored `get_platform()` to:
1. Read from the `PLATFORM` environment variable if it exists (which is defined in a virtual switch Docker container)
2. Read from machine.conf if possible (works in the host OS of a standard SONiC image, critical for sonic-config-engine at boot)
3. Read the value from Config DB (needed for Docker containers running in SONiC, as machine.conf is not accessible to them)
- Also fix typo in daemon_base.py
- Also changes to align `get_hwsku()` with `get_platform()`

changes. Remove front panel port related configurations in
interfaces.j2 templates as well.
Remove teamd.sh script and use teammgrd to start all the teamd
processes. Remove all the logics in the start.sh script as well.

- Move front panel ports and port channels MTU and IP configurations out of
the current /etc/network/interfaces file and store them in the configuration
database.
- The default MTU value for both front panel ports and the port channels is
9100. They are set via the minigraph or 9100 by default.
- Introduce portmgrd which will pick up the MTU configurations from the
configuration database.
- The updated intfmgrd will pick up IP address changes from the configuration
database.
- Update sonic-swss submodule
