Why I did it

The console-monitor feature in sonic-host-services requires socat to create PTY pairs for console port bridging. This PR adds socat as a host system dependency to ensure console-monitor can function properly.

How I did it

  • Added $(SOCAT) to the installer build dependencies in slave.mk to ensure the socat deb package is built
  • Added $(SOCAT) to installer_debs export variable in slave.mk so socat gets installed to the host filesystem

How to verify it

  • Install SONiC Image
  • Check socat is installed

Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)

  • 202305
  • 202311
  • 202405
  • 202411
  • 202505
  • 202511
