Why I did it
In an effort to allow people to build a slim version of SONiC to fit on devices to small storage, there is a need to disable some unneeded features.
The docker-gbsyncd are only applicable to devices with external gearboxes and might not apply to devices that need a small image.
It is therefore desirable to have a knob to not include these gbsyncd containers.

Microsoft ADO (number only):
How I did it
Add a new config INCLUDE_GBSYNCD which is enabled by default to retain the previous behavior.
Setting it to n will not include the platform/components/docker-gbsyncd-*.mk.
How to verify it
Set INCLUDE_GBSYNCD = n and witness that docker-gbsyncd images are not present in the final image.
