#830 adds support to bring up multi-asic Virtual switch.
In multi-asic VS switch, there are multiple swss and syncd dockers. Orchagent process in each swss is started with a different hwinfo(asic_id). This PR is to ensure that context configuration is passed in syncd which has the hwinfo information with which each orchagent is started.

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.

…lobal context index. (#832)" (#859)

This reverts commit 0e2105a.
multi-asic VS with multiple swss and syncd dockers, comes up without context_config.json or hwinfo.
Just like a single asic vs, multi-asic vs will spawn multiple instances of swss and syncd with default hwinfo.
Reverting this PR as it is not required currently for multi-asic VS.
