Change ``ip2mac`` plugin order in :file:`ipdevpoll.conf`
--------------------------------------------------------

The Palo Alto ARP plugin in ipdevpoll had a problem which caused the ARP
records it collected from Palo Palo firewalls to be unduly closed by the
regular SNMP-based ARP plugin. This release of NAV fixes this by making the
SNMP-based ARP plugin a "fallback" mechanism that doesn't touch ARP collection
if another plugin has already collected ARP data.

In order for this fix to work, **you must change the order of the plugins** in the
``[job_ip2mac]`` section of your :file:`ipdevpoll.conf` file, to ensure that
the ``paloaltoarp`` plugin is listed *before* the ``arp`` plugin.
