**- Why I did it**
To support dynamic buffer calculation.
This PR also depends on the following PRs for sub modules
- [sonic-swss: [buffermgr/bufferorch] Support dynamic buffer calculation #1338](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss/pull/1338)
- [sonic-swss-common: Dynamic buffer calculation #361](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss-common/pull/361)
- [sonic-utilities: Support dynamic buffer calculation #973](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-utilities/pull/973)
**- How I did it**
1. Introduce field `buffer_model` in `DEVICE_METADATA|localhost` to represent which buffer model is running in the system currently:
- `dynamic` for the dynamic buffer calculation model
- `traditional` for the traditional model in which the `pg_profile_lookup.ini` is used
2. Add the tables required for the feature:
- ASIC_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/asic_table.j2
- PERIPHERAL_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/peripheral_table.j2
- PORT_PERIPHERAL_TABLE on a per-platform basis in device/\<vendor\>/\<platform\>/port_peripheral_config.j2 for each platform with gearbox installed.
- DEFAULT_LOSSLESS_BUFFER_PARAMETER and LOSSLESS_TRAFFIC_PATTERN in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
- Add lossless PGs (3-4) for each port in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
3. Copy the newly introduced j2 files into the image and rendering them when the system starts
4. Update the CLI options for buffermgrd so that it can start with dynamic mode
5. Fetches the ASIC vendor name in orchagent:
- fetch the vendor name when creates the docker and pass it as a docker environment variable
- `buffermgrd` can use this passed-in variable
6. Clear buffer related tables from STATE_DB when swss docker starts
7. Update the src/sonic-config-engine/tests/sample_output/buffers-dell6100.json according to the buffer_config.j2
8. Remove buffer pool sizes for ingress pools and egress_lossy_pool
Update the buffer settings for dynamic buffer calculation
This PR has a dependency on community change to move PCIe config files from $PLATFORM/plugin folder to $PLATFORM/ folder
- Why I did it
To support PCIed daemon on Mellanox platforms
- How I did it
Add PCIed config yaml files for all Mellanox platforms
Update pmon daemon config files for SimX platforms
Calculate pool size in t1 as 24 * downlink port + 8 * uplink port
- Take both port and peer MTU into account when calculating headroom
- Worst case factor is decreased to 50%
- Mellanox-SN2700-C28D8 t0, assume 48 * 50G/5m + 8 * 100G/40m ports
- Mellanox-SN2700 (C32)
- t0: 16 * 100G/5m + 16 * 100G/40m
- t1: 16 * 100G/40m + 16 * 100G/300m

The new feature system health support a platform based configuration file. Add configuration files for all Mellanox platform.
Add a configuration file for SN2700, other platform will use a soft link to it.
Add related files to the device folder:
buffer config templates
pg lookup profile
port_config.ini
sai profile
sensor conf
plugins

* Change port index in port_config.ini to 1-based
* Add default port index to port_config.ini, change platform plugins to accept 1-based port index
* fix port index in sfp_event.py
