In order to fix the problem where an inform session fails to open at startup,
I'm integrating a patch (submitted a few years ago) to delay the engineID probe
until it is needed.

The question is, what should the default behaviour be? Always delay the probe
(any time snmp_open is called for a v3 session), or just delay for inform
session? Of course a flag will be added to allow users to specify the
non-default behaviour.

The other option would be to allow a failed probe to successfully return, and
set up to retry the probe when needed.
