Deprecates the legacy use of baseOid (.1.3.6.1.2.1) in walk(), which previously restricted default walks to MIB-2. When no rootOid is provided, we now default to .1.3.6.1, the IANA-assigned 'internet' subtree, which includes both standard (e.g. MIB-2) and vendor-specific branches. This aligns with X.660 OID structure and Net-SNMP behavior, and avoids encoding errors caused by incomplete OIDs. Fixes gosnmp#486 Originally reported by Debianov.
