[SNMP4J] Request for new constructors in PDUv1 & ScopedPDU

[Tejo Vamsi]

Hi Frank,
 
PDU has a constructor which takes other PDU and builds this PDU.
I feel it would be helpful to have the following constructors in
PDUv1 and ScopedPDU, which enables creating new V1 and V3 PDUs
from an existing V2C PDU. I think this will be especially useful
for clients which wrap over PDU, where they can create a PDU easily,
depending on the version. Following are the constructors which I was mentioning:
 
in PDUv1:
---------
public PDUv1(PDU other) {
    super(other);
}
 
in ScopedPDU:
-------------
public ScopedPDU(PDU other) {
    super(other);
}
 
With these constructors in place, I need not copy the varbinds and other fields
from a V2C PDU to V1/V3 pdu explicitly. These constructors will take care.

If this API is going to be supported in next/forthcoming releases, then I think
can safely add them in my local SNMP4J version, and update when actual release
comes out.
 
Thanks for your time.
 
Regards
Tejo
