#### Why I did it
Add platform_asic file to each platform folder in sonic-device-data package. The file content will be used as the ground truth of mapping from PLATFORM_STRING to switch ASIC family.
One use case of the mapping is to prevent installing a wrong image, which targets for other ASIC platforms. For example, currently we have several ONIE images naming as sonic-*.bin, it's easy to mistakenly install the wrong image. With this mapping built into image, we could fetch the ONIE platform string, and figure out which ASIC it is using, and check we are installing the correct image.
After this PR merged, each platform vendor has to add one mandatory text file `device/PLATFORM_VENDOR/PLATFORM_STRING/platform_asic`, with the content of the platform's switch ASIC family.
I will update https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki/Porting-Guide after this PR is merged.
You can get a list of the ASIC platforms by `ls -b platform | cat`. Currently the options are
```
barefoot
broadcom
cavium
centec
centec-arm64
generic
innovium
marvell
marvell-arm64
marvell-armhf
mellanox
nephos
p4
vs
```
Also support
```
broadcom-dnx
```
#### How I did it
#### How to verify it
Test one image on DUT. And check the folders under `/usr/share/sonic/device`
- Why I did it
SN4600 A0 platform was EOL, so there is no need to support it, sensor conf can be removed and we don't need to maintain 2 sensor conf files, only A1 platform is needed.
- How I did it
Remove get_sensors_conf_path which intends to load correct sensor conf for different(A0/A1) platforms.
Remove the sensor conf for A0 platform, rename previous sensor.conf.a1 to sensor.conf
- How to verify it
Run sensor test on the SN4600 platform.
*Edited platform.json for 4600 & 4600C
*Edited hwsku.json and port_config.ini files for all the SKU's present under these platforms

- Why I did it
To create SDK dump on Mellanox devices when SDK event has occurred.
- How I did it
Set the SKUs keys needed to initialize the feature in SAI.
- How to verify it
Simulate SDK event and check that dump is created in the expected path.
#### Why I did it
Current platform.json lacks some peripheral device related facts, like chassis/fan/pasu/drawer/thermal/components names, numbers, etc.
#### How I did it
Add platform device facts to the platform.json file

- Why I did it
Fix the build and fix the SN4600 DPB support
- How I did it
Fix port configuration file for SN4600 based on recent changes
- How to verify it
System bringup is completed, all interfaces are up.
Platform tests suits all is passing.
- Why I did it
To add support for the dynamic breakout on Mellanox platform x86_64-mlnx_msn4600
- How I did it
Add the relevant files describing Mellanox platform x86_64-mlnx_msn4600 breakout modes to a new device folder.
- How to verify it
System bringup is completed, all interfaces are up.
Platform tests suits all is passing.
- Why I did it
Add support for new 64x200G SN4600 systems
- How I did it
Add all relevant files (w/o platform.json and hwsku.json as they will come later) with default SKU.
- How to verify it
Install image on switch, verify all ports are up and configured properly, run full platform SONiC tests.
