To increase the consistency between SNMPv1/2c and SNMPv3.
With SNMPv3, the basic format of all the commands was:
{snmpcmd} {options} {where} {what}
With (UCD) SNMPv1/2c, the basic format was:
{snmpcmd} {options} community {where} {what}
Since the UCD suite already supported the option "-c community"
to do exactly the same thing, this "positional option" was not
actually needed, and introduced unnecessary complexity into the code.
We took advantage of the significant changes that were coming anyway
with the ucd-v4 => net-v5 switch, to drop this particular mis-feature
as well.
Just use "-c community" instead. This works with all releases.
