Currently the only supported gbsyncd container is docker-gbsyncd-credo. This change will allow docker_image_ctl to check the platform gbsyncd configuration file and run the correct version of gbsyncd for that platform. This will enable the support of docker-gbsyncd-broncos in the future.

Currently the only supported gbsyncd container is docker-gbsyncd-credo.
This change will allow docker_image_ctl to check the platform gbsyncd
configuration file and run the correct version of gbsyncd for that
platform. This will enable the support of docker-gbsyncd-broncos in the
future.
Why I did it
Some new platforms will require docker-gbsyncd-broncos for their external PHYs. This change will allow non-Credo gbsyncd to be supported.
How I did it
Add a check for gbsyncd.ini to see which gbsyncd the platform needs.
How to verify it
The existing functionalities for gbsyncd-credo are unaffected.
To test adding a new gbsyncd, one can add the build under platform/components.
The method to verify is not included in this change.
