Why I did it
Support to build armhf/arm64 platforms on arm based system without qemu simulator.
When building the armhf/arm64 on arm based system, it is not necessary to use qemu simulator.
How I did it
Build armhf on armhf system, or build arm64 on arm64 system, by default, qemu simulator will not be used.
When building armhf on arm64, and you have enabled armhf docker, then it will build images without simulator automatically. It is based how the docker service is run.
Docker base image change:
For amd64, change from debian:to amd64/debian:
For arm64, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:arm64- to arm64v8/debian:
For armhf, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:armhf- to arm32v7/debian:
See https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#architectures-other-than-amd64
The mapping relations:
arm32v6 --- armel
arm32v7 --- armhf
arm64v8 --- arm64
Docker image armhf deprecated info: https://hub.docker.com/r/armhf/debian, using arm32v7 instead.
- Support compile sonic arm image on arm server. If arm image compiling is executed on arm server instead of using qemu mode on x86 server, compile time can be saved significantly.
- Add kernel argument systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 for upgrade systemd to version 247, according to #7228
- rename multiarch docker to sonic-slave-${distro}-march-${arch}

**- Why I did it**
As part of migrating SONiC codebase from Python 2 to Python 3
**- How I did it**
- No longer install Python 2 in docker-base-buster or docker-config-engine-buster.
- Install Python 2 and pip2 in the following containers until we can completely eliminate it there:
- docker-platform-monitor
- docker-sonic-mgmt-framework
- docker-sonic-vs
- Pin pip2 version <21 where it is still temporarily needed, as pip version 21 will drop support for Python 2
- Also preform some other cleanup, ensuring that pip3, setuptools and wheel packages are installed in docker-base-buster, and then removing any attempts to re-install them in derived containers
**- Why I did it**
We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers
Prevent intermittent build failures when building Sonic for the ARM platform architecture due to version upgrades of the redis-tools and redis-server packages.
Modify select Dockerfile templates to download the redis-tools and redis-server packages from sonicstorage rather than from debian.org.
This PR has been made possible by the inclusion of ARM versions of redis-tools and redis-server into sonicstorage as described in Issue# 5701
As part of the transition from Python 2 to Python 3, we are installing both pip2 and pip3 in the slave and config-engine containers. This PR replaces calls to `pip` in these containers with an explicit call to `pip2` to ensure the proper version of pip is executed, no matter which version of pip is aliased to `pip`, as we no longer rely on that alias.
Also some other pip-related cleanup
* [redis] Use redis-server and redis-tools in blob storage to prevent
upstream link broken
* Use curl instead of wget
* Explicitly install dependencies
sonic-cfggen call is slow and this is taking place in the SONiC
boot up process. The change uses templates to assemble all required
vars into single template file. With this change, telemetry now calls
once into sonic-cfggen.

* Multi DB with namespace support, Introducing the database_global.json file
for supporting accessing DB's in other namespaces for service running in
linux host
* Updates based on comments
* Adding the j2 templates for database_config and database_global files.
* Updating to retrieve the redis DIR's to be mounted from database_global.json file.
* Additional check to see if asic.conf file exists before sourcing it.
* Updates based on PR comments discussion.
* Review comments update
* Updates to the argument "-n" for namespace used in both context of parsing minigraph and multi DB access.
* Update with the attribute "persistence_for_warm_boot" that was added to database_config.json file earlier.
* Removing the database_config.json file to avioid confusion in future.
We use the database_config.json.j2 file to generate database_config.json files dynamically.
* Update the comments for sudo usage in docker_image_ctrl.j2
* Update with the new logic in PING PONG tests using sonic-db-cli. With this we wait till the
PONG response is received when redis server is up.
* Similar changes in swss and syncd scripts for the PING tests with sonic-db-cli
* Updated with a missing , in the database_config.json.j2 file, Do pip install of j2cli in docker-base-buster.
This change adds support to build dockers using buster as base.
- Define docker-base-buster using docker-base-stretch as starting point
- Define docker-config-engine-buster using docker-config-engine-stretch as starting point.
- sonic-mgmt-framework docker is updated to build using buster as base
