Summary: gracefully restart agent functionality

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I have a patch, which allows sub-agents to shutdown 
snmp part of functionality gracefully using 
snmp_shutdown() and then call init_agent() and 
init_snmp() without exiting first. This is useful for 
developing agents which do other stuff besides being 
snmp (sub-)agents. The (sub-)agent may call 
snmp_shutdown() to disable snmp completely and then at 
a later stage (based on some condition) call init_agent
() and init_snmp() again to turn on snmp part again. 
This procedure may be repeated any number of times.

The current code doesn't clear the alarms properly and 
doesn't set main_session to NULL on snmp_shutdown(). 
This has been fixed in the patch.

NOTE: This patch is for 4.2.3. This may be applied to 
4.2.5 but not to the 5.0 line.

cheers
-vish
