Add new Nokia build target and establish an arm64 build:
Platform: arm64-nokia_ixs7215_52xb-r0
HwSKU: Nokia-7215-A1
ASIC: marvell
Port Config: 48x1G + 4x10G
How I did it
- Change make files for saiserver and syncd to use Bulleseye kernel
- Change Marvell SAI version to 1.11.0-1
- Add Prestera make files to build kernel, Flattened Device Tree blob and ramdisk for arm64 platforms
- Provide device and platform related files for new platform support (arm64-nokia_ixs7215_52xb-r0).
when parallel build is enabled, both docker-fpm-frr and docker-syncd-brcm
is built at the same time, docker-fpm-frr requires swss which requires to
install libsaivs-dev. docker-syncd-brcm requires syncd package which requires
to install libsaibcm-dev.
since libsaivs-dev and libsaibcm-dev install the sai header in the same
location, these two packages cannot be installed at the same time. Therefore,
we need to serialize the build between these two packages. Simply uninstall
the conflict package is not enough to solve this issue. The correct solution
is to have one package wait for another package to be uninstalled.
For example, if syncd is built first, then it will install libsaibcm-dev.
Meanwhile, if the swss build job starts and tries to install libsaivs-dev,
it will first try to query if libsaibcm-dev is installed or not. if it is
installed, then it will wait until libsaibcm-dev is uninstalled. After syncd
job is finished, it will uninstall libsaibcm-dev and swss build job will be
unblocked.
To solve this issue, _UNINSTALLS is introduced to uninstall a package that
is no longer needed and to allow blocked job to continue.

make swss build depends only on libsairedis instead of syncd. This allows to build swss without depending
on vendor sai library.
Currently, libsairedis build also buils syncd which requires vendor SAI lib. This makes difficult to build
swss docker in buster while still keeping syncd docker in stretch, as swss requires libsairedis which also
build syncd and requires vendor to provide SAI for buster. As swss docker does not really contain syncd
binary, so it is not necessary to build syncd for swss docker.
