snmp.conf patch

[Andrew Lunn <andrew dot lunn at ascom dot ch>]

Hi Folks

Attached is a patch from a co-worker, Manu Sharma, that adds partial
support for the snmp file snmp.conf. We have added support to set
access profiles for all v1, v2c and v3 protocols. For this to work a
file system is needed, so there is somewhere to actually store the
snmp.conf file. We have tested it with the ram fs, but we don't expect
any problems with other types of fs.

The test program snmping has been extended, so that if these
extensions are enabled and the ram fs packages is loaded, it creates
an example snmp.conf file. The user can then try some accesses which
are valid/invalid with respect to the access profile. 

The documentation has also been updated.

This has been sitting in my mailbox quite a while, hence the old dates
in the Changelog entries. Manu is now on Holiday, so any questions
will be answered next year.

I also noticed that snmping.c seems to have too many copywrite
headers...
