Avoid initializing sfp/thermal/components/fan/psu/leds on simx and create vpd_info file on hw_management when we use mellanox simulator platform
- Why I did it
this is a fix for issue in mellanox simulator platforms. the syseepromd failed on the pmon docker. also "decode-syseeprom" failed also
- How I did it
before initializing thermal/components/fan/psu/leds --> check if we are running on simx
creating the vpd_info on the hw_management folder.
- How to verify it
check if syseepromd process was loaded properly on the pmon docker.
decode-syseeprom is working well without errors/warnings
- Why I did it
Remove EEPROM cache file and use DB instead
- How I did it
Read EEPROM data from DB if possible
If data is not ready in DB, read from hardware using a visitor pattern
- How to verify it
Manual test and regression
EEPROM cache file is not refreshed after install a new ONIE version even if the eeprom data is updated. The current Eeprom class always try to read from the cache file when the file exists. The PR is aimed to fix it.

- Also fix Python 3-related issues:
- Use integer (floor) division in config_samples.py (sonic-config-engine)
- Replace print statement with print function in eeprom.py plugin for x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0 platform
- Update all platform plugins to be compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3
- Remove shebangs from plugins files which are not intended to be executable
- Replace tabs with spaces in Python plugin files and fix alignment, because Python 3 is more strict
- Remove trailing whitespace from plugins files
Now we are reading base mac, product name from eeprom data, and the data read from eeprom contains multiple "\0" characters at the end, need trim them to make the string clean and display correct.
**- Why I did it**
- Platform API implementation using sonic-cfggen to get platform name and SKU name, which will fail when the database is not available.
- Chassis name is not correctly assigned, it shall be assigned with EEPROM TLV "Product Name", instead of SKU name
- Chassis model is not implemented, it shall be assigned with EEPROM TLV "Part Number"
**- How I did it**
1. Chassis
> - Get platform name from /host/machine.conf
> - Remove get SKU name with sonic-cfggen
> - Get Chassis name and model from EEPROM TLV "Product Name" and "Part Number"
> - Add function to return model
2. EEPROM
> - Add function to return product name and part number
3. Platform
> - Init EEPROM on the host side, so also can get the Chassis name model from EEPROM on the host side.
* new platform api, chassis part
* Inject mlnx mlx libs to platform monitor
* address the review comments
* remove some confusing naming.
* Adjust the minor cause to a more human-readable way when rebooted by firmware
* address review comments
* expose host dir /host/reboot-cause to pmon docker so that the reboot causing by user command can be identified
* 1. Revert "expose host dir /host/reboot-cause to pmon docker so that the reboot causing by user command can be identified"
Since the only hardware-causing reboot should be handled by get_reboot_cause and the logic of handling reboot cause is about to move to the host side, no need to mount this dir to pmon docker.
This reverts commit 3feb96869d.
2. adjust log output by using sonic_daemon_base.daemon_base.Logger.
3. remove the logic of verifying /host/reboot-cause/ files.
4. fix typo.
* implement get_firmware_version and adjust the interfaces regarding components' version retrieving according to the Azure/sonic-platform-common#34
