Remove Python 2 package installation from the base image. For container
builds, reference Python 2 packages only if we're not building for
Bullseye.
For libyang, don't build Python 2 bindings at all, since they don't seem
to be used.

- Make PDDF code compliant with both Python 2 and Python 3
- Align code with PEP8 standards using autopep8
- Build and install both Python 2 and Python 3 PDDF packages
This change introduces PDDF which is described here: https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/pull/536
Most of the platform bring up effort goes in developing the platform device drivers, SONiC platform APIs and validating them. Typically each platform vendor writes their own drivers and platform APIs which is very tailor made to that platform. This involves writing code, building, installing it on the target platform devices and testing. Many of the details of the platform are hard coded into these drivers, from the HW spec. They go through this cycle repetitively till everything works fine, and is validated before upstreaming the code.
PDDF aims to make this platform driver and platform APIs development process much simpler by providing a data driven development framework. This is enabled by:
JSON descriptor files for platform data
Generic data-driven drivers for various devices
Generic SONiC platform APIs
Vendor specific extensions for customisation and extensibility
