We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3.
Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package.
**- How I did it**
- Build and install sonic-utilities as a Python package
- Remove explicit installation of wheel dependencies, as these will now get installed implicitly by pip when installing sonic-utilities as a wheel
- Build and install new sonic-utilities-data package to install data files required by sonic-utilities applications
- Update all references to sonic-utilities scripts/entrypoints to either reference the new /usr/local/bin/ location or remove absolute path entirely where applicable

As part of consolidating all common Python-based functionality into the new sonic-py-common package, this pull request:
1. Redirects all Python applications/scripts in sonic-buildimage repo which previously imported sonic_device_util or sonic_daemon_base to instead import sonic-py-common, which was added in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5003
2. Replaces all calls to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()` to instead call `sonic_py_common.get_platform()` and removes any calls to `sonic_device_util.get_machine_info()` which are no longer necessary (i.e., those which were only used to pass the results to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()`.
3. Removes unused imports to the now-deprecated sonic-daemon-base package and sonic_device_util.py module
This is the next step toward resolving https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/issues/4999
Also reverted my previous change in which device_info.get_platform() would first try obtaining the platform ID string from Config DB and fall back to gathering it from machine.conf upon failure because this function is called by sonic-cfggen before the data is in the DB, in which case, the db_connect() call will hang indefinitely, which was not the behavior I expected. As of now, the function will always reference machine.conf.
Since we can not refer a dir in sonic-buildimage while jenkins testing of sonic-utilities.
We need to create build dependency on sonic_yang_models PKG too.

sonic-utils has sonic-yang-mgmt as build time deps, which inturn installs libyang.
libyang is needed to run newly added test.
If sonic-yang-mgmt is already built then libyang will not be installed in slave docker
without this PR and test will not run.

To run the unit test for sonic-utilities/config/config_mgmt.py, we need sonic-yang-mgmt.
It is decided to not mock sonic-yang-mgmt because config_mgmt is highly dependent on sonic-yang-mgmt.
So It is good to catch any compatibility issues during build time rather than run time.

* asyncsnmp depends on sonic-utilities so it is possible to import sonic_psu

* Ignore sonic_utilities test during build
* [build]: sonic-utilities package now depends on swsssdk; add build dependency
* Now building sonic-utilities Python package in wheel format
* Update sonic-utilities submodule
* Change output wheel name to match proper format
( All device-specific files now reside under /device directory in a <vendor-name>/<platform-string>/<hardware-SKU> directory structure in repo.
* Device-specific files are now packaged into a Debian package (sonic-device-data) and are now installed to /usr/share/sonic/device/<platform-string>/<hardware-SKU>/ directory on switch.
