[snmp/manager] Improve handling of unexpected/invalid snmpm_user callbacks
Improved handling of unexpected return values from snmpm_user
callback functions. Violations of the documented API (crashes or
invalid return values) will now result in an error message.
Updated doc for snmpm_user bahaviour and some other stuff.
Add more (common) type defs.
Update manager example.
Fixed manager test(s).
Fixed unused vars in (manager) test suite.
Make test user follow defined behaviour.
