- Why I did it
Update the routine is_bgp_session_internal() by checking the BGP_INTERNAL_NEIGHBOR table.
Additionally to address the review comment #5520 (comment)
Add timer settings as will in the internal session templates and keep it minimal as these sessions which will always be up.
Updates to the internal tests data + add all of it to template tests.
- How I did it
Updated the APIs and the template files.
- How to verify it
Verified the internal BGP sessions are displayed correctly with show commands with this API is_bgp_session_internal()
Added new MultiASIC util method "get_back_end_interface_set()" to speed up back-end interface check by allowing caller to cache the back-end intf into a set. This way the caller can use this set for all subsequent back-end interface check requests instead of each time need to read from redis DB which become a scaling issue for cases such as checking for thousands of nexthop routes for filtering purpose.

The following common APIs are added for multi ASIC
- an API to check if a given port is a internal or external port
- an API to check if a given port-channel is internal or external
- an API to check if a bgp-session is internal or external
- an API to connect to the config and other dbs in the a given namespace
- added common APIs to the sonic_py_common library.
- update the sample port-config.ini with role column and add corresponding test to verify the ports configuration is - generated properly.
