support sflow on virtual switch (#498)

When sflow is configured using CLI or other supported mechanisms, the orch-agent invokes
the SAI API set_port_attribute(). For the sflow feature, his API is used to set the SAI_PORT_ATTR_INGRESS_SAMPLEPACKET_ENABLE attribute of a netdev port. The value stored for this attribute is a samplepacket object, which essentially contains various sampling attributes (sampling rate, sampler group etc.) associated with the port.

When sampling is disabled on a port, the SAI_PORT_ATTR_INGRESS_SAMPLEPACKET_ENABLE attribute is set to a null object.
When sampling is enabled on a port, the SAI_PORT_ATTR_INGRESS_SAMPLEPACKET_ENABLE attribute is set to a valid samplepacket object.

For sonic-vs, in the absence of a real ASIC programming, the 'tc' command is used instead to configure the sampling parameters inside the kernel. In this PR we invoke the appropriate 'tc' command, based on the requested config actions (disable or enable or update).
