Summary: "make test" opens default AgentX/SMUX sockets and *:876[45]

Initial Comment:
"make test" may currently interfere with active
services on the system because:

- snmptrapd connects to /var/agentx/master (or the
configure-chosen equivalent)
- SMUX is initialized with the default settings (if
enabled), i.e. opens port 199
- what else?

This is a Bad Thing To Do.

I've just fixed the first issue (snmptrapd connects to
/var/agentx/master) for 5.2+.

Last not least most tests access /var/net-snmp which should
be avoided also.

Furthermore (and even worse) we run the test agent on
"udp:8765", i.e. make it listen on *all* interfaces! Similar
for snmptrapd on udp:8764. This is both unnecessary
(udp:localhost:8765 is enough) and a security risk since we
use a fixed configuration (community strings!, v3
passwords!, port number).
