94fa239 [y_cable] refactor y_cable to a seperate logic and new daemon from xcvrd (#219)
Why I did it
This PR separates the logic of Y-Cable from xcvrd. Before this change we were utilizing xcvrd daemon to control all aspects of Y-Cable right from initialization to processing requests from other entities like orch,linkmgr.
Now we would have another daemon ycabled which will serve this purpose.
Logically everything still remains the same from the perspective of other daemons.
it also take care aspects like init/delete daemon from Y-Cable perspective.
How I did it
To serve the purpose we build a new wheel sonic_ycabled-1.0-py3-none-any.whl and install it inside pmon.
We also initalize the daemon ycabled which serves our purpose for refactor inside pmon
How to verify it
Ran the changes with an image for dualtor tests on a 7050cx3 platform

**- Why I did it**
We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers
