[config] Add support for multi-ASIC devices (#877)

* [Phase 1] Multi ASIC config command changes, db_mgrator.py script updates for handing namespace.

* Fixes and comment updates

* Comments addressed + added support for user to input the config files per namespace also.

* Updates per comments + based on the updated SonicV2Connector/ConfigDBConnector class design

* Review comments update.

* Help string updated for config save/reload/load
