Well, we've already got a flag to do this (sort of).
It's called "DONT_PROBE".
Or rather, it's the *absence* of the "DONT_PROBE" flag.

If we set DONT_PROBE as part of "snmp_sess_init", then that
would make the default behaviour to be probing later.
But an application developer could always clear this flag
before calling "snmp_open", and that would trigger an
immediate probe.
