Add Goldstone support for as7716-32x #6

I think we'll need the following mechanism to support as7716-32x

[ ] support switching the uSONiC container image based on the running platform
- e.g.) Galileo1 uses version 201904. AS7716-32X uses the latest version
- south-sonic might need to detect the version of uSONiC and change behavior based on it.
[ ] support switching the SAI library based on the running platform
- Currently, we are using https://github.com/orgs/oopt-goldstone/packages/container/package/libsai and this only supports Galileo1 platform

I'm curious if we can run Stratum https://github.com/stratum/stratum#broadcom on this platform. But let's first target uSONiC as the switch ASIC control engine.

I'm thinking something like this

> system
system> switch-asic-engine
usage: switch-asic-engine [sonic|stratum|dent]
system> show switch-asic-engine
current: sonic (version xxx)
status: running
supported: sonic(version xxx), sonic(version yyy), stratum
system> switch-asic-engine stratum # use stratum for the switch ASIC control
