Many apt and pip commands are called inside chroot during SONiC build
process.
Though they are not interactive, they generate a lot of scrolling output
in the console that slows down the whole SONiC installation process.

Most of this output has no added value and makes troubleshooting more
complex.
It can be safely disabled by setting the right environment variables
and/or options. Note they cannot completely prevent underlying
calls to dpkg from displaying a few output. Only a redirection to
/dev/null can prevent the dpdk output from being displayed
Also since there are several wrappers to apt (apt-get/apt/aptitude)
and since almost all of these apt calls are done inside chroot,
it is preferable from a maintenance and efficiency perspective to
context allocations
Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)
all branches are affected
