[SNMP4J] Create PDU from ByteBuffer

[Norman Elton]

I dug through the code some more. It looks like I'll have to handle
the header information myself. I whipped up some code that reads the
header, figures out whether it's a v1/v2 packet, creates a PDU object,
and calls decodeBER. Things seem to be working fine.

Thanks again!
