[snmp] slow snmp v3 discovery timeout

[Birgit Arkesteijn]

Hi Josh,

Yes, it would still attempt timeline discovery because of the
authentication. :-(

In order to fake that you'd have to make
- uk.co.westhawk.snmp.stack.TimeWindowNode a public class
and 
- make TimeWindow.setTimeLine public:
  protected uk.co.westhawk.snmp.stack.TimeWindowNode 
    setTimeLine(
        java.lang.String snmpEngineId, 
        uk.co.westhawk.snmp.stack.TimeWindowNode newNode)

Cheers, Birgit
