[sonic-platform-base] Introduce APIs for modular chassis support (#124)

sonic-platform-base: Changes to enhance module_base.py and chassis_base.py for modular chassis

HLD: sonic-net/SONiC#646

- Enhance ModuleBase with new APIs to repesent pluggable cards in a voq-chassis.
- Enhance ChassisBase with new APIs
