Enhanced Feature table to support 'always_enabled' value for state an…

…d auto-restart fields. (#6000)

Added new flag value 'always_enabled' for the state and auto-restart field of feature table

init_cfg.json is updated to initialize state field of database/swss/syncd/teamd feature and auto-restart field of database feature
as always_enabled

Once the state/auto-restart value is initialized as "always_enabled" it is immutable and cannot be change via feature config commands. (config feature..) PR#sonic-net/sonic-utilities#1271

hostcfgd will not take any action if state field value is 'always_enabled'

Since we have always_enabled field for auto-restart updated supervisor-proc-exit-listener
not to have special check for database and always rely on value from Feature table.
