Summary: ifInMulticastPkts always returns 0

Initial Comment:
Net-SNMP v5.3.0.1 running on Linux 2.4.x or 2.6.x.

snmpd always returns the value 0 for the 
ifInMulticastPkts column.

Note: This is a similar problem to bug 1476223.

Examination of source code reveals that the value 
returned is not tied to the "real" data, which seems 
to be the stats.imcast.low field of the corresponding 
netsnmp_interface_entry struct.

The attached patch should fully fix this problem. For 
completeness, it also fixes the same problem with the 
following:

- ifInBroadcastPkts
- ifOutMulticastPkts
- ifOutBroadcastPkts

Note, however, that the relevant statistics for these 
three objects are not (directly) available from 
Linux, and so snmpd will continue to return 0 for 
them.
