What I did
sonic-utilities should never call directly into libyang. All functionality it needs should be provided in sonic-yang-mgmt. This resolves issues when libyang changes API/ABI such as happened between libyang1 and libyang2, and again between libyang2 and libyang3.
Depends on sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#24414
Fixes sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#22385
How I did it
Removed calls to libyang and instead uses new functionality introduced in sonic-yang-mgmt.
Also installs both libyang1 and libyang3 for tests to maintain compatibility with both during the migration.
How to verify it
After sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#24414 merges observe test cases still pass.
