Fix#13561
The existing saidump use https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-swss-common/blob/master/common/table_dump.lua script which loops the ASIC_DB more than 5 seconds and blocks other processes access.
This solution uses the Redis SAVE command to save the snapshot of DB each time and recover later, instead of looping through each entry in the table.

How did I do it?
To use the Redis-db SAVE option to save the snapshot of DB each time and recover later, instead of looping through each entry in the table and saving it.
1. Updated dockers/docker-base-bullseye/Dockerfile.j2, install Python library rdbtools into the all the docker-base-bullseye containers.
2. Updated sonic-buildimage/src/sonic-sairedis/saidump/saidump.cpp, add a new option -r, which updates the rdbtools's output-JSON files' format.
3. To add a new script file: syncd/scripts/saidump.sh into the sairedis repo. This shell script does the following steps:
For each ASIC, such as ASIC0,
3.1. Config Redis consistency directory.
redis-cli -h $hostname -p $port CONFIG SET dir $redis_dir > /dev/null
3.2. Save the Redis data.
redis-cli -h $hostname -p $port SAVE > /dev/null
3.3. Run rdb command to convert the dump files into JSON files
rdb --command json $redis_dir/dump.rdb | tee $redis_dir/dump.json > /dev/null
3.4. Run saidump -r to update the JSON files' format as same as the saidump before.
Then we can get the saidump's result in standard output."
saidump -r $redis_dir/dump.json -m 100
3.5. Clear the temporary files.
rm -f $redis_dir/dump.rdb
rm -f $redis_dir/dump.json
4. Update sonic-buildimage/src/sonic-utilities/scripts/generate_dump. To check the asic db size and if it is larger than ROUTE_TAB_LIMIT_DIRECT_ITERATION (with default value 24000) entries, then do with REDIS SAVE, otherwise, to do with old method: looping through each entry of Redis DB.
How to verify it
On T2 setup with more than 96K routes, execute CLI command -- generate_dump
No error should be shown
Download the generate_dump result and verify the saidump file after unpacking it.
* Remove apt package lists and make macro to clean up apt and python cache
Remove the apt package lists (`/var/lib/apt/lists`) from the docker
containers. This saves about 100MB.
Also, make a macro to clean up the apt and python cache that can then be
used in all of the containers. This helps make the cleanup be consistent
across all containers.

Why I did it
Unify the Debian mirror sources
Make easy to upgrade to the next Debian release, not source url code change required. Support to customize the Debian mirror sources during the build
Relative issue: #12523
How I did it
How to verify it
# Why I did it
Reduce the disk space taken up during bootup and runtime.
# How I did it
1. Remove python package cache from the base image and from the containers.
2. During bootup, if logs are to be stored in memory, then don't create the `var-log.ext4` file just to delete it later during bootup.
3. For the partition containing `/host`, don't reserve any blocks for just the root user. This just makes sure all disk space is available for all users, if needed during upgrades (for example).
* Remove pip2 and pip3 caches from some containers
Only containers which appeared to have a significant pip cache size are
included here.
