- External PHY is managed via gearbox (gbsybcd docker container) in SONiC
- Enhanced 'External PHY management' from SONiC's single-ASIC environment to multi-ASIC
- Enhanced gbsyncd docker container from single Namespace to multi-Namspace mode
- Added gbsyncd.service.j2 on per_namespace basis.
- Each namepace/ASIC now to have its unique gbsyncd<ASIC#> docker container with its
own Gearbox table, redis-DB

Changes to allow starting per asic services like swss and syncd only if the platform vendor codedetects the asic is detected and notified. The systemd services ordering we want is database->database@->pmon->swss@->syncd@->teamd@->lldp@
There is also a requirement that management, telemetry, snmp dockers can start even if all asic services are not up.
Why I did it
For VOQ chassis, the fabric cards will have 1-N asics. Also, there could be multiple removable fabric cards. On the supervisor, swss and syncd containers need to be started only if the fabric-card is in Online state and respective asics are detected by the kernel. Using systemd, the dependent services can be in inactive state.
How I did it
Introduce a mechanism where all ASIC dependent service wait on its state to be published via PMON to REDIS. Once the subscription is received, the service proceeds to create respective dockers.
For fixed platforms, systemd is unchanged i.e. the service bring up and docker creation happens in the start()/ExecStartPre routine of the .sh scripts.
For VOQ chassis platform on supervisor, the service bringup skips docker creation in the start() routine, but does it in the wait()/ExecStart routine of the .sh scrips.
Management dockers are decoupled from ASIC docker creation.
Before this change, a process running inside every SONiC container dealt with FEATURE table 'auto_restart' field and depending on the value decided whether a container has to be killed or not.
If killed service auto restart mechanism restarts the container.
This change moves the logic from container to the host daemon - hostcfgd.
The 'auto_restart' handling is kept in supervisor-proc-exit-listener but now it is not required for container that wants to support auto restart feature.
hostcfgd refactoring - move feature handling in another class.
override systemd service Restart= setting from hostcfgd.
remove default systemd Restart=always.

- Why I did it
Remove the need to deal with container orchestration logic from the container itself. Leave this logic to the orchestrator - host OS.
- How I did it
hostcfgd configures 'Restart=' value for systemd service.

- Why I did it
Group all SONiC services together and able to manage them together. Will be used in config reload command as much simpler and generic way to restart services.
- How I did it
Add services to sonic.target
- How to verify it
Together with Azure/sonic-utilities#1199

* Add *MUX_CABLE_TABLE* to set of tables to clear on SWSS start, which
will clear HW_MUX_CABLE_TABLE and MUX_CABLE_TABLE
* Order swss to start before pmon to ensure that DBs are cleared before
xcvrd (running inside pmon) starts and re-populates the tables

[multi_asic][vs]: Add dependency in teamd service to start after topology service.
- Why I did it
In multi-asic VS, topology service is run after database service to set up the internal asic topology.
swss and syncd have a dependency to start after topology service is run so that the interfaces are moved to right namespace and created in the right namespace. In case of multi-asic vs, during the initial boot up, when there is no configuration added, teamd service starts and swss/syncd do not start as topology service does not start. Upon loading configuration using config_db or minigraph, swss and sycnd start up , but teamd is not restarted as swss is not stopped and started. This causes teamd to be in a bad state and requires a reload of config.
- How I did it
Add dependency in teamd service to start after topology service is completed.
- How to verify it
No change in single asic vs or platform.
No change in multi-asic regular image.
Change only in multi-asic VS. Bring up a multi-asic VS image without any configration, teamd service will fail to start due to dependency failure. Load minigraph, start topology service, load configuration, ensure all services come up.

Summary: Move teamd functions to a new service script
Motivation: To segregate teamd functions in one common place. fast-reboot script calls teamd functions that should ideally be replaced by a simple call to a service script.
Changes: New teamd service script and path modification from /usr/bin/teamd.sh to /usr/local/bin/teamd.sh
fast-reboot script (in sonic-utilities) modification (to use new teamd.sh to stop teamd) should follow soon after this change.
Verification: VS image tests.
