SNMP driver Gen3

[aquette]

• in usbhid-ups spirit (2nd generation of meta driver, with sub-drivers)
• support external MIB2NUT files (externalize all mib2nut?)
  Already available through the DMF
• support SNMP traps ("events notification")
  • how to handle traps for multiple drivers?
  • ==> nutdrv-trap{d,handler,dispatcher,whatever_name} is a driver that receives traps and dispatches it over the nutdrv-snmp driver(s) instance(s), using ups.conf->port field as a key. The main issue here is that this driver needs to be started (not forcibly declared) somewhere. nutdrv-controller could do the job, with a specific hook
  • ==> nutd could do the job of starting. but that would not be clean!

Is "external MIB2NUT" same or equivalent to the DMF work we've done (but not merged into upstream/master yet) since this issue was stated?

@jimklimov exact same thing, but different name after 10 years... ;)
