[Buildroot] Agent++ 4.6.0: const/nonconst type mismatch build failure

Hello AGENT++ developers,

the automatic testing infrastructure of the Buildroot embedded Linux
build system is reporting a build failure in AGENT++:

snmp_pp_ext.cpp:1217:26: error: binding reference of type 'Snmp_pp::Pdu&' to 'const Snmp_pp::Pdu' discards qualifiers
 1217 |   status = snmpmsg.load( pdu, community, version);
      |                          ^~~

This is due to a mismatch between the SNMP++ APIs and AGENT++.

This failure is happening since several months and was happening also
with version 4.5.4.

Here you can find info, including logs, about some of the failed builds:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/e8abd6bdc62a028955915706b03d72239786c703/
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/24441fb679fbf5f913c9b6431c98aec596ead587/
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/d7347b8b3953596b66da6ca6d85f084fb427934c/

I have prepared a patch against AGENT++ 4.6.0 that fixes the problem
according to my tests, please find it attached.

It would be great to have this fixed in the next mainline release of
AGENT++!

Best regards,
Luca Ceresoli
