libpldmresponder: Improving Logs (lg2)

This commit corrects the severity level of logs and also formats the
message string, fixing the ill-defined message string of the logs as
mentioned in the anti-pattern document [1]. Additionally, based on the
requirement this commit adds more debug information to logs.

pldm: Meson option for system specific bios attributes

PLDM users who want to use bios attributes based on the system type
can enable this meson option.
With disabled option default bios json files are picked to build
bios attribute tables.

Added meson option "system-specific-bios-json" to add the support
for system specific bios attributes.
Below is the pre-requisite to support system specific bios
attributes:
1. Entity Manager service is active
2. Entity Manager should have Decorator.Compatible interface
and system type in Names property under this interface
3. BIOS Attribute json files are added into the folder(Named on
the System Type property value) and should be installed
under /usr/share/pldm/bios/

With disabled "system-specific-bios-json" option default bios
attributes are populated.

Tested:
Poweron system-specific-bios-json enabled/disabled

pldm: Build BIOS Table Lazily

Entity manager service hosts the compatible interface and populates the
Names property with the chassis type. It is seen that the Names property
is updated pretty late on the way to BMC ready state. And by that time
pldmd is already creating the bios table assuming that the system type
is not detected.

To fix this behavior, rather than creating the bios table early, we need
to wait until we get the system type from the entity manager daemon.

System Type is fetched from Entity Manager Decorator.Compatible
interface [1].

PLDM registers the service name only after building the BIOS tables, to
avoids failures to bios updates from other applications

Tested: Power off/On successfully in Simulator

Addressing a DBus query crash in pldm

This update resolves a crash occurring in pldm when attempting
to retrieve the system type from the entity manager service. The
issue is resolved by implementing exception handling for potential
errors during the dbus call.

Testing:
Tested in simulator and pldm is working fine without crash.

Adding Platform specific PDR support

- Adding platform check to generate pdr based on platform type.

- Currently PDR generation is happening based on default
configuration, so this commit adds support to generate PDR's based
in the platform type.

Testing:
- Added traces and check from which path the files has been taken for
pdr generation.
- Removed power supply from default path and oem layer and identified
that power supply pdr is not generating.
