A simple convenience configfile can provide a mapping between VPP
interface names, Linux Control Plane interface names, and descriptions.
An example:
```
interfaces:
"TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0":
description: "Infra: xsw0.chrma0:2"
lcp: "xe1-0"
"TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0.3102":
description: "Infra: QinQ to Solnet for Daedalean"
lcp: "xe1-0.3102"
"TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0.310211":
description: "Cust: Daedalean IP Transit"
lcp: "xe1-0.3102.11"
```
This configuration file is completely optional. If the `-c` flag is
empty, or it's set but the file does not exist, the Agent will simply
enumerate all interfaces, and set the `ifAlias` OID to the same value
as the `ifName`. However, if the config file is read, it will change
the behavior as follows:
* Any `tapNN` interface names from VPP will be matched to their PHY by
looking up their Linux Control Plane interface. The `ifName` field
will be rewritten to the _LIP_ `host-if`. For example, `tap3` above
will become `xe1-0` while `tap3.310211` will become `xe1-0.3102.11`.
* The `ifAlias` OID for a PHY will be set to the `description` field.
* The `ifAlias` OID for a TAP will be set to the string `LCP: `
followed by its PHY `ifName`. For example, `xe1-0.3102.11` will
become `LCP TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0.310211 (tap9)`
Now that we're explicitly connecting via TCP to localhost:705 (which
can be overriden by the -a flag), we no longer need to run as root.
Therefore, update vpp-snmp-agent.service to run as user Debian-snmp
group vpp, so that /run/vpp/{api,stats}.sock are writable.
Be explicit on the commandline arguments in the service definition.
It now is tolerant to VPP restarts. Upon initialization, we connect(),
blocking all but the first thread from trying. The rest will see
self.connected=True and move on.
Then, on each/any error, call vpp.disconect() and set connected=False
which will make any subsequent AgentX updater run force a reconnect.
