feat: set up SNMP with net-snmp
run_device_action("fix_snmp") and get_snmp_config for both drivers, as
decided in NetOrk/netork#800: net-snmp from packages rather than the base
daemons, because it answers UCD-SNMP-MIB, which netOrk's health metrics
read.

- fix_snmp installs net-snmp, writes the configuration netOrk uses on
  Linux (v2c, community "public", agentAddress udp:161) through stdin as
  root, enables and restarts the agent (FreeBSD `service snmpd`, OpenBSD
  `rcctl ... netsnmpd`, as `snmpd` is OpenBSD's own daemon) and asks it
  for sysDescr. It stops at the first step that fails and says why.
- get_snmp_config reports a running net-snmp's community and port.
- FreeBSD's install_package bootstraps pkg on a classic system that never
  had it instead of waiting for an answer that never comes.

Checked live: FreeBSD from a bare system, OpenBSD again over an existing
setup. Memory, swap and load answer on both; FreeBSD's ssCpuIdle about a
minute after start; OpenBSD's CPU figures from net-snmp are wrong (#800).

# napalm-bsd
NAPALM drivers for **FreeBSD** (`freebsd`) and **OpenBSD** (`openbsd`) hosts,
over SSH, built on [napalm-device-types](https://git.netork.io/NAPALM/napalm-device-types)'
`OSDriver`. Written for netOrk, which provisions and manages BSD VMs
(NetOrk/netork#792).
## Design
- One shared `BsdDriver` (`napalm_bsd/base.py`) holds the SSH layer and every
reader whose tools agree between the BSDs. `FreeBSDDriver` and
`OpenBSDDriver` name only the commands that differ (hostname, release,
kernel, hardware, `netstat -rnW` vs `-rn`).
- Every command runs on its own SSH **exec channel** (`run_on_transport` from
napalm-device-types): no PTY to parse a prompt from, stdout and stderr apart,
a real exit status. `run_command()` / `open_stream()` are public
(`CommandChannelMixin`).
- Root comes from `sudo -S` with the sudo password on stdin (never on a command
line), or `sudo -n` without one, as in napalm-linux. netOrk provisions `sudo`
on BSD VMs for that reason; `doas` cannot read a password from stdin.
- Parsing is in `napalm_bsd/parse.py`, pure functions tested on output recorded
from real systems (`tests/fixtures/`, each directory's `COMMANDS.txt` lists
what produced it).

`get_listening_sockets` has the shape of napalm-device-types'
`ListeningSocketsMixin` (whose `ss`/cgroup reading is Linux's) and its rule:
read as root first, without root when that brings nothing back
(`attributed: False`). FreeBSD's `sockstat` sees every socket either way;
OpenBSD's `fstat` shows a user only their own processes, so without root the
sockets come from `netstat -an`, unnamed.
There is deliberately no `get_kernel_facts`: `KernelFactsMixin` reports a
Linux kernel's modules and `CONFIG_*` options, which a BSD kernel does not
have, and `hasattr(driver, "get_kernel_facts")` has to stay truthful.
**Updates.** `security` on FreeBSD comes from VuXML (`pkg audit`): True for a
package it lists as vulnerable, False for one it does not, None when the audit
could not run. OpenBSD's tools do not say, so it is None there. Base-system
patches are one entry, `base-system` (NetOrk/netork#799): OpenBSD's
`syspatch` applies its patches together and in order; a classic FreeBSD base
reports what `freebsd-update` has fetched (`updatesready`). On FreeBSD with
pkgbase the base system is packages from the `FreeBSD-base` repository and
needs no extra entry.
**Services** are the enabled ones. FreeBSD reads their status as root, as
root-only pidfiles hide a daemon from anyone else, and without root when sudo
refuses; OpenBSD's `rcctl check` needs no root. Actions run as root.
**SNMP** is net-snmp from packages (NetOrk/netork#800), configured as netOrk does
on Linux (v2c, community `public`, every address), so the agent answers
UCD-SNMP-MIB for netOrk's health metrics. Memory, swap and load are right on
both systems. CPU: FreeBSD reports `ssCpuIdle` about a minute after the
agent starts; on OpenBSD net-snmp's CPU figures are wrong (0 % idle on an idle
machine, also in `hrProcessorLoad`).
## Connection arguments
`optional_args`: `port` (22), `key_file`, `sudo_password`, `allow_agent`,
`look_for_keys` (both off by default).
