Tested with #832 changes on multi-asic VS switch to make sure that swss/syncd dockers are coming and interfaces are getting created.
Tested on single asic - comes up with all interfaces.

) hwskus. Why I did it For multi-asic platforms, orchagent process in swss docker is started by passing device_ids(or asic_ids). Each swss docker starts orchagent with a different device_id. This device_id is passed as Hardware info to syncd. For syncd to start with the right hwinfo, context_config.json is passed as an argument. context_config.json file is looked up to get the hwinfo information. sonic-sairedis PRs required for this diff to be used to bring up multi-asic VS: sonic-net/sonic-sairedis#830 sonic-net/sonic-sairedis#832 How I did it Add context_config.json for each asic in the same structure as provided here: https://github.com/Azure/sonic-sairedis/blob/master/lib/src/context_config.json Each asic context_config.json will have different hwinfo string. hwinfo string will be same as device id retrieved from asic.conf file.

So far virtual switch supported only 1 switch to be created and only default hwinfo which was empty string. This change allows to reuse context_config.json to allow multiple switches to be created in virtual switch and each can have different hwinfo. This scenario can be useful when running VS test with multiple swss containers running.
