**- Why I did it**
There is a preference to use thermalctld instead of fancontrol for 201911 release branch. The Arista platform submodule updates and thermal policies in the platforms will allow Arista devices to use thermalctld instead of fancontrol.
**- How I did it**
I cherry-picked the necessary commits from master branch for sonic-platform-modules-arista into 201911 branch. I've also added the file to skip fancontrol and added the thermal policies json.
**- How to verify it**
On Gardena, Upperlake, Clearlake, and Lodoga thermalctld is up and running with no errors. Fans show ~29%.

* Fix showing systemd shutdown sequence when verbose is set
* Fix creation of kernel-cmdline file
Sometimes boot0 prints error
"mv: can't preserve ownership of '/mnt/flash/image-arsonic.xxxx/kernel-cmdline': Operation not permitted"
* Improve flash space usage during installation
Some older systems only have 2GB of flash available. Installing a second
image on these can prove to be challenging.
The new installation process moves the installer swi to memory in order
to avoid free up space from the flash before uncompressing it there.
It removes all the flash space usage spike and also improves the IO
since the installation is no more reading and writting to the flash at
the same time.
* Add support of 7060CX-32S-SSD
* 7260CX3: use inventory powerCycle procedures
* 7050QX-32S: use inventory powerCycle procedures
* 7050QX-32: use inventory powerCycle procedures
* platform: arista: add common platform_reboot
Replace platform_reboot by a link to new common for devices already
using a similar script.
* 7060CX-32S: use inventory powerCycle procedures
* Install python smbus in pmon
Some platform plugin need the python smbus library to perform some actions.
This installs the dependency.
