Detailed Description

This handler helps you implement a table where all the data is expected to be stored within the agent itself and not in some external storage location. It handles all MIB requests including GETs, GETNEXTs and SETs. It's possible to simply create a table without actually ever defining a handler to be called when SNMP requests come in. To use the data, you can either attach a sub-handler that merely uses/manipulates the data further when requests come in, or you can loop through it externally when it's actually needed. This handler is most useful in cases where a table is holding configuration data for something which gets triggered via another event.

NOTE NOTE NOTE: This helper isn't complete and is likely to change somewhat over time. Specifically, the way it stores data internally may change drastically.

registers a table_dataset so that the 'add_row' snmpd.conf token can be used to add data to this table. If registration_name is NULL then the name used when the table was created will be used instead.

Todo
    create a properly free'ing registeration pointer for the datalist, and get the datalist freed at shutdown.
