Introducing full-featured OO API.
It covers bug #46065 also.
Old API *_set_* functions actually sets `global' preferences, they are
used when creating new object instance. $object->... properties are used
object(session)-wise.

OK. There will be full-featured OO API without adding new functions into
legacy API (e.g. no session support). Though old functions will be
provided with two features (in sake of code cimplicity):
* multi-OID
* strict output typing

No need to deprecate it, but tell anyone asking for a feature for the
legacy API to migrate to the new shiny one :)

It is much easier and cleaner to simply go straight to OO then, without
procedural API, and keep the old for legacy apps.

You have guessed my next target - OO interface. :-)
If you apply new patch you'll see there is very small piece of code
making SNMPv1 functions be polymorphic - dozen of lines, not more.
My thoughts are that old API should be deprecated sometime, so there
will be session-only support: both OO and non-OO.

What do you think about keeping the old APIs as it is, froze it and add
a much nicer and flexible OO one instead? For any new improvements?
That's what I did for zip and brings much more rooms for new stuff while
reducing the maintenance work load.
