[action] [PR:15684] Revert "Revert "Fix for fast/cold-boot: call db_migrator only after old config is loaded""

[mssonicbld]

Reverts #15464

Adds original PR back: #14933

Why I did it

Fix the issue where db_migrator is called before DB is loaded w/ config. This leads to db_migrator:

1. Not finding anything, and resumes to incorrectly migrate every missing config
   This is not expected. migration should happen after the old config is loaded and only new schema changes need migration.
2. Since DB does not have anything when migrator is called, db_migrator fails when some APIs return None.

The reason for incorrect call is that:

1. database service starts db_migrator as part of startup sequence.
2. config-setup service loads data from old-config/minigraph. However, since it has Requires=database.service.
3. Hence, config-setup starts only when database service is started. And database service is started when db_migrator is completed.

Fixed by:

1. Check if this is first time boot by checking pending_config_migration flag.
2. If pending_config_migration is enabled, then do not call db_migrator as part of database service startup.
3. Let database service start which triggers config-setup service to start.
4. Now call db_migrator after when config-setup service loads old-config/minigraph

Error that's being fixed:

How I did it

How to verify it

ested on physical platform. Rebooted from 202012 to master image (new install):

db_migrator now gets delayed during database service bring up: Delaying db_migrator until config migration is over
db_migrator now gets called when config-setup service loads DB. The issue of migrating on empty DB is fixed and is evident as the previous error of hwsku being None is not seen anymore:
