Add (atl) log conversion block option.

It is now possible to request that the Audit Trail Log should be blocked during conversion (log_to_txt or log_to_io). This could be usefull when coverting a large log (when there is a chance it may otherwise wrap during conversion).

See agent log_to_txt and log_to_io and also manager log_to_txt and log_to_io for details.

[agent] Improved documentation for the functions for loading and unloading mibs, see load_mibs and unload_mibs for more info.

Also added new functions for loading and unloading a single mib, see load_mib and unload_mib for more info.

[agent] Reading the value of the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask returns it in the wrong (internal bitlist) format.

The vacmViewTreeFamilyMask is defined as a bit string in the MIB (OCTET STRING). Internally a bitlist (list of 1's and 0's, see vacm config file for more info) is used. However, the MIB implementation assumed the latter, effectively rendering all attempts to read/set masks via SNMP unsuccessful.

Since the mask is used in hot paths (e.g. access permission checks for each SNMP operation, the bitlist representation of the mask has benefits (e.g. faster processing). Reading/writing the view mask objects is less time-critical. Therefore, to fix the issue, convert between the bitlist (internal) representation and bitstring (external) when the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask objects are accessed.

Also, the check of the vacm config file was invalid with regard to the mask value. It was assumed to be a proper oid, which is not strictly the case (see bitlist above).

[agent] Introduced a documented behaviour for the mib-server mib-data backend. At present only the default module (snmpa_mib_data_tttn) is provided.

A config option for the (agent) mib-servers mib-data backend module has been added to the agent config options, data_module.

[agent] Introduced a documented behaviour for the mib storage. At present there are three simple modules (snmpa_mib_storage_ets, snmpa_mib_storage_dets and snmpa_mib_storage_mnesia) implementing this behaviour, provided with the app.

A config option for the (agent) mib storage has been added to the agent config options.

[agent] Sematic fixes to SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB. The semantics allow the usmUserAuthKeyChange and usmUserPrivKeyChange objects to be written to in the same set requests that also creates and clones the user. This was not possible beforehand, causing test tools checking semantic SNMPv3 behaviour to fail on a lot of test cases.

Furthermore, once the user has been cloned by writing to an instance of usmUserCloneFrom, further set-operations to the same object will not return an error, but be no-ops. Especially, it must be avoided to copy security parameters again (possibly even from a different user).

[agent] Errors in vacmAccessTable RowStatus handling. There are problems with the handling of vacmAccessTableStatus that cause some SNMP test suites to report errors. Most notably, erroneous set operations frequently cause "genErr" errors to be returned. These "genErr" errors are usually caused by badmatch exceptions coming from {ok, Row} = snmpa_vacm:get_row(RowIndex) if the row does not exist.

The semantics of the RowStatus handling in that table has been adjusted to be compliant with the RowStatus textual description of SNPMv2-TC MIB.

[agent] Fix walk over vacmAccessTable. Fix the get_next implementation of vacmAccessTable to return all table entries.

The get_next implementation of vacmAccessTable did not return all available table data. Instead, it only returned the first column for each row, and all columns for the last row available.

[agent] Repeated vacm table dumping fails due to file name conflict. When dumping the vacm table to disk, a temoporary file with a fixed name was used. If the table dumping (snmpa_vacm:dump_table/0) was initiated from several different processes in rapid succesion, the dumping could fail because the different processes was simultaniously trying to write to the same file. This problem has been eliminated by creating a unique name for the temporary file.

[compiler] Used wrong variable name (for warnings-as-errors variable), which caused the compiler to crash when using the snmpc (e)script.

Also added the option --Werror for the SNMP MIB compiler (escript) frontend (to mimic erlc), which specifies whether warnings should be treated as errors.

[manager] There was no way to specify transport domain. The transport domains was assumed to be IPv4 (transportDomainUdpIpv4). This has now been changed so that it can also be IPv6 (transportDomainUdpIpv6). To facilitate this, the transport domain, tdomain, is now a (new) valid option when registering a new agent (and updating agent info).

This also mean that the transport behaviour has changed.
