Description

Add a test for oid lookup using mibs provided by network device vendors such as Juniper and Cisco.

The test would download mibs from a vendor, then configure telegraf's mib parsing/lookup code to use them and verifies that lookups work for oids that have been reported to fail.

for context, see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/10428#issuecomment-1012435768

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement an integration test that downloads MIBs from a vendor (e.g., Juniper or Cisco), configures Telegraf's MIB parsing code to use them, and verifies OID lookups for previously failing OIDs.
