ix IPV6 forced-mgmt-route not work issue
Why I did it
IPV6 forced-mgmt-route not work
When add a IPV6 route, should use 'ip -6 rule add pref 32764 address' command, but currently in the template the '-6' parameter are missing, so the IPV6 route been add to IPV4 route table.
Also this PR depends on #17281 , which will fix the IPV6 'default' route table missing in IPV6 route lookup issue.

- Why I did it
If a PSU is not present, there could be error log while restarting psud or thermalctld:
Jan 8 17:15:52.689616 sonic ERR pmon#psud: Thermal sysfs /run/hw-management/thermal/psu2_temp1_max does not exist
Jan 8 17:15:57.747723 sonic ERR pmon#thermalctld: Thermal sysfs /run/hw-management/thermal/psu2_temp1 does not exist
- How I did it
if a PSU is not present, we should not check the PSU temperature sysfs.

#### How I did it

#### Description for the changelog
Currently, whenever isc-dhcp-relay forwards a packet upstream,
internally, it will try to send it on a "fallback" interface. My
understanding is that this isn't meant to be a real interface, but
instead is basically saying to use Linux's regular routing stack to
route the packet appropriately (rather than having isc-dhcp-relay
specify specifically which interface to use).
The problem is that on systems with a weak CPU, a large number of
interfaces, and many upstream servers specified, this can introduce a
noticeable delay in packets getting sent. The delay comes from trying to
get the ifindex of the fallback interface. In one test case, it got to
the point that only 2 packets could be processed per second. Because of
this, dhcrelay will easily get backlogged and likely get to a point
where packets get dropped in the kernel.
Fix this by adding a check saying if we're using the fallback interface,
then don't try to get the ifindex of this interface. We're never going
to have an interface named this in SONiC.

Why I did it
The existing source of multiarch/debian-debootstrap doesn't appear to have Bookworm-based images available. Because of this, slave containers for cross-compilation of SONiC (with QEMU) cannot be built.
Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO (number only): 26214341
How I did it
Since those images don't do anything to the Debian container besides add QEMU to it (which we overwrite anyways with the latest version of QEMU available from multiarch/qemu-user-static, just take the platform-specific version of the official Debian image and add QEMU to it.
How to verify it
For 40G optics there is SAI handling of T0 facing ports to be set with SR4 type and unreliable los set for a fixed set of ports. For this property to be invoked the requirement is set
phy_unlos_msft=1 in config.bcm.
This change is to meet the requirement and once this property is set, the los/interface type settings is applied by SAI on the required ports.
Why I did it
For Arista-7060CX-32S-Q32 T1, 40G ports RX_ERR minimalization during connected device reboot
can be achieved by turning on Unreliable LOS and SR4 media_type for all ports which are connected to T0.
The property phy_unlos_msft=1 is to exclusively enable this property.

Inconsistent comparison (few places list names where compared with table name) 3. Inconsistent I/O. These functions were designed to work on Lists but it accepted table names and due to which inconsistent results were observed. Fixed the behavior the I/O is always TABLE NAME but internally it gets converted to LIST and processed. It is done because there is a possibility of having an dependency between TABLE LIST. 4.
