Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

Ability to send events and sensor data to SNMP managers.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

ESPHome is the best way to manage a ton of ESPs, and I want to use it to place environmental monitors in a non-Home Assistant environment with large-scale monitoring software like Zabbix. SNMP is a standard way of transmitting network and state data to logging servers.

**Additional context**

I am happy to work on this feature (though definitely over a long period of time)! I believe SNMP is simple to implement, and I am very sure it has been done on an ESP before. It is a UDP packet sent to a configured host.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by researching ESPHome's integration architecture and the constraints of sending SNMP over UDP from ESP devices. Done means a defined implementation can send events and sensor data to configured SNMP managers, with its behavior and supported scope documented.
