[AGENT++] SNMPV3 USM based Key change Queries

Hi,

yes, add_localized_user().

SNMPv3 keys are always localized. There are no not-localized-keys.

This is what I had in mind when writing these functions.

Not at this time. But these key_update_*() functions were just added to
show, how a key change can be done. The necessary Vbs can also be
generated in the application.
