Log:
  bsnmpd(8): fix and optimize interface description processing

  * correctly prepare a buffer to obtain interface description from a kernel
and
    truncate long description instead of dropping it altogether and
    spamming logs;
  * skip calling strlen() for each description and each SNMP request
    for MIB-II/ifXTable's ifAlias.
  * teach bsnmpd to allocate memory dynamically for interface descriptions
    to decrease memory usage for common case and not to break
    if long description occurs;
