[load_minigraph] Delay pfcwd start until the buffer templates are rendered (#1937)

Signed-off-by: Neetha John <[email protected]>

Fixes #9292

What I did
Pfcwd was not getting started after executing load_minigraph after the changes done in #1508. This was because the PORT_QOS_MAP table is not yet present in config db (this gets populated only after the buffer templates are rendered) at the time we try to start pfcwd and hence the 'pfc_enable' field will always be empty and we skip writing PFC_WD table entries to config db.

How I did it
Delay pfcwd start until the buffer templates are rendered

How to verify it
Issue "config load_minigraph" with the changes and ensure that pfcwd is started on all active ports
