    Make snmpit_cisco much, much more robust to failures. · 1236b544

    Convert most SNMP interaction to use the snmpit*() library, so that
    they get support for retrying failures, etc.
    
    Add new library calls for wrapping bulkwalk() - so now, we will
    retry those on error as well. Before, we had the bad behavior than
    many functions, like listVlans() would just see empty lists instead
    of errors.
    
    When making a new Cisco object, we now test network connectivity right
    away, by fetching an OID that should exist on all SNMP devices. Before,
    we wouldn't find out we couldn't contact the switch until we actually
    did something on it.
    
    Also, make VLAN number choosing go a bit faster by converting it to
    bulkwalk() (using the new library function) so we can grab all VLAN
    numbers at once.
