Summary: allow to turn SMUX on/off via config file

Initial Comment:
Currently, if snmpd has been configured for SMUX
support, it will get started unconditionally and open
port 199/tcp. There appears to be no easy way to turn
it off, the FAQ has something about intentionally
misconfiguring it to prevent it from starting..
(http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/FAQ.html#How_can_I_turn_off_SMUX_support_
)


Hasso Tepper has written a patch that prevents SMUX
from starting unless explicitly configured in the
config file:

This patch appears to be aimed at the SMUX peer
applications, rather than the Net-SNMP agent itself.
As such, it doesn't seem to be relevant here.
