[systemd-generator] add support for platform config file
In addition to /etc/sonic/generated_services.conf, the generator now processes the platform config in /usr/share/sonic/device/%platform/services.conf
Why I did it
This is to support platform-specific systemd-sonic-generator config file. It allows loading additional services based on platform (/etc/machine.conf) information on boot.

How I did it
Added /usr/share/sonic/device/%platform/services.conf processing (if such file exists). The %platform is already available in systemd-sonic-generator (read from /etc/machine.conf) The unit test is updated to cover new functionality.

Could you provide the HLD link about this scenario or description for service.conf?
Could you provide the HLD link about this scenario or description for
service.conf?
There is no HLD for this. It’s a small extension to the sonic-system-generator.
The use-case for this change is that on the Smart Switch platform we need to run an additional systemd service. We include and disable it in the sonic-mellanox image and then we can enable it on boot only on the Smart Switch platform (via this change)
