SNMP and Telemetry services are not critical to switch startup.
They also cause fast-reboot not to meet timing requirements.
In order to delay start those service are associated with systemd
timer units, however when hostcfgd initiate service start, it start
the service and not the timer. This PR fixes this issue by
starting the timer associated with systemd unit.

* [docker-radv] Fix startup issues (sonic-net#5230)

**- Why I did it**

PR sonic-net#4599 introduced two bugs in the startup of the router advertiser container:

1. References to the `wait_for_intf.sh` script were changed to `wait_for_link.sh`, but the actual script was not renamed
2. The `ipv6_found` Jinja2 variable added to the supervisor config file goes out of scope before it is read.

**- How I did it**
1. Rename the `wait_for_intf.sh` script to `wait_for_link.sh`
2. Use the Jinja2 "namespace" construct to fix the scope issue

**- How to verify it**

Ensure all processes in the radv container start properly under the correct conditions (i.e., whether or not there is at least one VLAN with an IPv6 address assigned).

* [sonic-host-service]: Add SONiC Host Services infrastructure (sonic-net#4840)

- Why I did it

When SONiC is configured with the management framework and/or telemetry services, the applications running inside those containers need to access some functionality on the host system. The following is a non-exhaustive list of such functionality:

Image management
Configuration save and load
ZTP enable/disable and status
Show tech support
- How I did it

The host service is a Python process that listens for requests via D-Bus. It will then service those requests and send a response back to the requestor.

This PR only introduces the host service infrastructure. Applications that need access to the host services must add applets that will register on D-Bus endpoints to service the appropriate functionality.

* [arista/aboot]: Zero out 1st MB before repartitioning (sonic-net#5220)

The first partition starting point was changed to be 1M as part of this
commit: 6ba2f97. On systems that are misaligned before conversion
(partition start is the first sector), the relica partition that is
left in the first MB can cause problems in Aboot and result in corruption
of the filesystem on the new aligned partition.

Zeroing this old relica makes sure that there is nothing left of the old
partition lying around. There won't be any risk of having Aboot corrupt
the new filesystem because of the old relica.

* [sonic-py-common] Add unit test framework (sonic-net#5238)

**- Why I did it**

To install the framework for adding unit tests to the sonic-py-common package and report coverage.

** How I did it **

- Incorporate pytest and pytest-cov into sonic-py-common package build
- Updgrade version of 'mock' installed to version 3.0.5, the last version which supports Python 2. This fixes a bug where the file object returned from `mock_open()` was not iterable (see https://bugs.python.org/issue32933)
- Add support for Python 3 setuptools and pytest in sonic-slave-buster environment
- Add tests for `device_info.get_machine_info()` and `device_info.get_platform()` functions
- Also add a .gitignore in the root of the sonic-py-common directory, move all related ignores from main .gitignore file, and add ignores for files and dirs generated by pytest-cov

* Add switch for synchronous mode (sonic-net#5237)

Add a master switch so that the sync/async mode can be configured.
Example usage of the switch:
1.  Configure mode while building an image
    `make ENABLE_SYNCHRONOUS_MODE=y <target>`
2. Configure when the device is running 
    Change CONFIG_DB with `sonic-cfggen -a '{"DEVICE_METADATA":{"localhost": {"synchronous_mode": "enable"}}}' --write-to-db`
    Restart swss with `systemctl restart swss`

* [arista/aboot]: Zero out 1st MB before repartitioning (sonic-net#5220)

The first partition starting point was changed to be 1M as part of this
commit: 6ba2f97. On systems that are misaligned before conversion
(partition start is the first sector), the relica partition that is
left in the first MB can cause problems in Aboot and result in corruption
of the filesystem on the new aligned partition.

Zeroing this old relica makes sure that there is nothing left of the old
partition lying around. There won't be any risk of having Aboot corrupt
the new filesystem because of the old relica.

* [sonic-py-common] Add unit test framework (sonic-net#5238)

**- Why I did it**

To install the framework for adding unit tests to the sonic-py-common package and report coverage.

** How I did it **

- Incorporate pytest and pytest-cov into sonic-py-common package build
- Updgrade version of 'mock' installed to version 3.0.5, the last version which supports Python 2. This fixes a bug where the file object returned from `mock_open()` was not iterable (see https://bugs.python.org/issue32933)
- Add support for Python 3 setuptools and pytest in sonic-slave-buster environment
- Add tests for `device_info.get_machine_info()` and `device_info.get_platform()` functions
- Also add a .gitignore in the root of the sonic-py-common directory, move all related ignores from main .gitignore file, and add ignores for files and dirs generated by pytest-cov

* Add switch for synchronous mode (sonic-net#5237)

Add a master switch so that the sync/async mode can be configured.
Example usage of the switch:
1.  Configure mode while building an image
    `make ENABLE_SYNCHRONOUS_MODE=y <target>`
2. Configure when the device is running 
    Change CONFIG_DB with `sonic-cfggen -a '{"DEVICE_METADATA":{"localhost": {"synchronous_mode": "enable"}}}' --write-to-db`
    Restart swss with `systemctl restart swss`
