the link becomes unhealthy, linkmgrd will trigger mux switchover
on a standby ToR ensuring uninterrupted service to servers/blades.
This PR is initial implementation of linkmgrd.

mux cable. It currently runs linkmgrd binary that monitor and switches
the mux if needed.
This PR also introduces mux-container and starts linkmgrd as startup when
