* [ARISTA] adding 7060_cs32s to eMMC exclusions
Following PR 2774 we added the 7060-cx32s according to the guidelines of
PR 2780
This adds the 7060-cx32s to the list f devices that mount /var/log as a
tmpfs to mitigate eMMC wearout

SONiC is a heavy writer to /var/log partition, we noticed that this
behavior causes certain flash drive to become read-only over time.
To avoid this issue, we mount /var/log parition on these devices as
tmpfs.
- Mount /var/log as tmpfs
- /var/log default size is 128M
- Adjust size according to existing var-log.ext4 file size.
- Adjust size to between 5% to 10% of total memory size.

moving to initramfs unifies disk allocate on different platforms.
use fallocate instead of dd to speed up the disk allocation.
By default, mkfs.ext4 has -E discard option which discards the blocks
at the mkfs time, also speed up the initialization time.
On some platforms after the initramfs init scripts have mounted the root device its
block device disapear from /dev. The union-mount script therefore can't mount the
root device over the aufs. If this case happen, issue a rescan of the devices to
repopulate the /dev filesystem.
