generating SAI debug dump file in show techsupport command and place it techsupport dump folder

It triggers the generation of a SAI debug dump file through Redis APPL DB.

An auxiliary script "gen_sai_dbg_dump.sh" is also provided to generate the dump file directly without requiring the show techsupport command.

sonic-net/SONiC#1846

How to verify it

Previous command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed)

New command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed)

This update introduces support for the sai_dbg_gen_dump API, which is triggered by the show techsupport command within the generate_dump script.
Currently, this API is only invoked in the vendor specific use case to avoid disrupting existing implementations for other vendors.
It is recommended to adopt this new procedure for triggering sai_dbg_gen_dump and eventually phase out the standalone saisdkdump executable.
By integrating this API directly within the process, we eliminate the need for a separate process, as not all SAI implementations will function correctly when the API is called from a different process other than syncd. Additionally, this change will reduce the system footprint by 70 MB, currently occupied by the saisdkdump executable.

An auxiliary script "gen_sai_dbg_dump.sh" is also provided to generate the dump file directly without requiring the show techsupport command.
