What I did
Added the new option [-i INST_ID] in orchagent to get the asic instance id passed by user and populate it in SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_SWITCH_HARDWARE_INFO during create_switch().
Why I did it
In multi-ASIC platforms the create_switch API should inform the syncd/SAI/SDK the particular ASIC instance to be initialized and controller by this orchagent.
How I verified it
Verified on a multi-ASIC and single ASIC devices the orchagent/syncd is up interfaces in good state.
Need additional change in the file sonic-buildimage/dockers/docker-orchagent/orchagent.sh to pass the instance ID with -i option.
