Add the High Level Design describing how xcvrd resolves its runtime tunables via a single XcvrdConfig object that reads the xcvrd section of pmon_daemon_control.json directly, replacing the per-tunable command-line-flag mechanism. Adding a new tunable becomes a one-field change to XcvrdConfig, and changing a flag at runtime only requires restarting xcvrd rather than having pmon regenerate the whole supervisord template.

Link the new HLD from sonic_docs_toc.md under the xrcvd section.

Hi @aditya-nexthop , it is a good idea to simplify the flow of adding parameters to xcvrd. Based on your proposal, I think we could do it more generic. How about changing XcvrdConfig to PmonDaemonConfig? Other daemons like thermalctld, psud could also be beneficial from this new desing.
