Why I did it
Support zero buffer profiles
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
Support applying zero profiles on INACTIVE PORTS
Enable dynamic buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file
Dependency: It depends on Azure/sonic-swss#1910 and submodule advancing PR once the former merged.
How I did it
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
If the buffer model is static:
Apply normal buffer profiles to admin-up ports
Apply zero buffer profiles to admin-down ports
If the buffer model is dynamic:
Apply normal buffer profiles to all ports
buffer manager will take care when a port is shut down
Update buffers_config.j2 to support INACTIVE PORTS by extending the existing macros to generate the various buffer objects, including PGs, queues, ingress/egress profile lists
Originally, all the macros to generate the above buffer objects took active ports only as an argument
Now that buffer items need to be generated on inactive ports as well, an extra argument representing the inactive ports need to be added
To be backward compatible, a new series of macros are introduced to take both active and inactive ports as arguments
The original version (with active ports only) will be checked first. If it is not defined, then the extended version will be called
Only vendors who support zero profiles need to change their buffer templates
Enable buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file:
The JSON file is provided on a per-platform basis
It is copied from platform/<vendor> folder to /usr/share/sonic/temlates folder in compiling time and rendered when the swss container is being created.
To make code clean and reduce redundant code, extract common macros from buffer_defaults_t{0,1}.j2 of all SKUs to two common files:
One in Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8 for single ingress pool mode
The other in ACS-MSN2700 for double ingress pool mode
Those files of all other SKUs will be symbol link to the above files
Update sonic-cfggen test accordingly:
Adjust example output file of JSON template for unit test
Add unit test in for Mellanox's new buffer templates.
How to verify it
Regression test.
Unit test in sonic-cfggen
Run regression test and manually test.

#### 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
```
