[y_cable] add support for enable/disable autoswitch feature on Y cable (#176)

This PR adds functions definition with details for enabling/disabling Y cable auto-switch feature

Description
Added functions for enabling/disabling auto-switch on Y cable

def set_switching_mode(physical_port, mode)
def get_switching_mode(physical_port)
Motivation and Context
We need to have this feature within host cli so that a user can enable/disable the autoswitch on Y cable

How Has This Been Tested?
opened a python shell and executed API's for correctness
