**- Why I did it**
We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers
Calls to sonic-cfggen is CPU expensive. This PR reduces calls to
sonic-cfggen to two calls during startup when starting frr service.

**- Why I did it**
Initially, the critical_processes file contains either the name of critical process or the name of group.
For example, the critical_processes file in the dhcp_relay container contains a single group name
`isc-dhcp-relay`. When testing the autorestart feature of each container, we need get all the critical
processes and test whether a container can be restarted correctly if one of its critical processes is
killed. However, it will be difficult to differentiate whether the names in the critical_processes file are
the critical processes or group names. At the same time, changing the syntax in this file will separate the individual process from the groups and also makes it clear to the user.
Right now the critical_processes file contains two different kind of entries. One is "program:xxx" which indicates a critical process. Another is "group:xxx" which indicates a group of critical processes
managed by supervisord using the name "xxx". At the same time, I also updated the logic to
parse the file critical_processes in supervisor-proc-event-listener script.
**- How to verify it**
We can first enable the autorestart feature of a specified container for example `dhcp_relay` by running the comman `sudo config container feature autorestart dhcp_relay enabled` on DUT. Then we can select a critical process from the command `docker top dhcp_relay` and use the command `sudo kill -SIGKILL <pid>` to kill that critical process. Final step is to check whether the container is restarted correctly or not.
Modify minigraph parser output format so it fit DB schema
Modify configuration templates to fit new schema
Systemd services dependencies are modified so database starts before any configuration consumer
- Consolidate config.sh and start.sh scripts into one script (start.sh)
- Solve issue #435 - All dockers now run supervisord as their ENTRYPOINT
- All stdout/stderr output from processes managed by supervisord is now sent to syslog instead of their own files
- Supervisord log messages are now also sent to syslog
- Removed unused smartmontools package from docker-platform-monitor
- Extending SONiC building infrastructure to provide users
with greater flexibility, by allowing them to elect a
routing-stack different than the default one (quagga). The desired
routing-stack will be defined in rules/config file.
- As part of these changes I'm adding support for
Free-Range-Routing (FRR) stack. Quagga will continue to be
the default routing-stack.
