arp_update should resolve the missing arp/ndp static route
entries. Added code to check for missing entries and try ping to
resolve the missing entry.
Why I did it
Fixes#14179
chassis-packet: missing arp entries for static routes causing high orchagent cpu usage
It is observed that some sonic-mgmt test case calls sonic-clear arp, which clears the static arp entries as well. Orchagent or arp_update process does not try to resolve the missing arp entries after clear.
How I did it
arp_update should resolve the missing arp/ndp static route
entries. Added code to check for missing entries and try ping if any
found to resolve it.
How to verify it
After boot or config reload, check ipv4 and ipv4 neigh entries to make sure all static route entries are present
manual validation:
Use sonic-clear arp and sonic-clear ndp to clear all neighbor entries
run arp_update
Check for neigh entries. All entries should be present.

What I did:
Following changes done for packet based chassis:-
1> Run arp_update on LC's to resolve static route nexthops over backend
port-channel interfaces.
2> On Supervisor make sure arp_update exit gracefully
#### Why I did it
* `arp_update` fails to ping those neighbors over vlan sub interfaces.
#### How I did it
* modify `arp_update_vars.j2` to get vlan sub interfaces with ipv6 addresses assigned.
* modify `arp_update` to send ipv6 pings over those retrieved vlan sub interfaces.

This PR limited the number of calls to sonic-cfggen to one call
per iteration instead of current 3 calls per iteration.
The PR also installs jq on host for future scripts if needed.
