Why I did it
HLD: sonic-net/SONiC#867
DEPENDS ON: sonic-net/sonic-swss#1982
I implemented ACL table type concept. Till this change, there are predefined ACL table types orchagent knows about (L3, L3V6, etc.) and if other orch requires a custom table a new table type needs to be defined in aclorch.
This PR addresses this limitation by introducing AclTableType which can be constructed from a set of matches, actions and bpoint types user needs. There is also a new handler for ACL_TABLE_TYPE table which is used for user to define table types.
Currently, some of built-in ACL table types that requires special handling are distinguished from others by their names (TABLE_TYPE_MIRROR, TABLE_TYPE_MIRRORV6) and a special handling is performed by an AclOrch.
How I did it
Modified ACL YANG and added UT.
