This PR is to backport #13100 to the 202205 branch since can not be cleanly cherry-picked.
Following code to judge whether a process is running inside a docker could get stuck on the simx platform
subprocess.Popen(["docker", "--version"],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
universal_newlines=True)
When it gets stuck, the config-chassisdb service can not be successfully started, thus the system can not be booted up.

- How I did it
Use an alternative way to implement this function and issue can be avoided:
docker_env_file = '/.dockerenv'
return os.path.exists(docker_env_file) is False
- How to verify it
run regression on real hardware and simx platform.
