Adding rule to ebtables to drop multicast packets in kernel. This was
done to address a bug where NS packets were flooding ports with
duplicate packets.

Following changes were done for ebtables:
- Support for Multi-asic platforms. Ebtable filters are installed in namespace for multi-asic and not host. On Single asic installed on host.
- For Multi-asic platforms we don't want to install on host otherwise Namespace-to-Namespace communication does not happens since ARP Request are not forwarded.
- Updated to use text file to restore ebtables rules then the binary format. Rules are restore as part of Database docker init instead of rc.local
- Removed the ebtable service files for buster as not needed as filters are restored/installed as part of database docker init.
All the binaries are pre-installed with ebtables* binary are same as ebatbles-legacy-*

Issue: Binary ebtables config file is CPU arch dependent
Fix: Load the text config during firsttime boot and
Generate the binary persistent atomic file

1. ebtables -t filter -A FORWARD -p 802_1Q --vlan-encap 0806 -j DROP
The ARP packet with vlan tag can't match the default rule.

- Add ebtables package, and install some filter rules:
1. ebtables -A FORWARD -d BGA -j DROP
2. ebtables -A FORWARD -p ARP -j DROP
Basically, we let the ARP packets in the VLAN being forwarded by the ASIC,
kernel gets a copy of these ARP packets and the forwarding from Kenerl gets
dropped. So there is always only one copy of ARP/response in the VLAN.
