if there is an an existing deleted interface with the same ifName, grab its port_id

I have remote site Linux routers monitored by Observium that have 2000+ leftover ppp0 interfaces. I keep meaning to dig into the code and find a way to merge them intelligently, but i haven't had the time yet.

The sad part is that you can't rely on ifName or ifDescr either, because 33% of vendors just return "ethernet interface" for them!

Not to mention the stupidity of SNMP implementations on Linux & Windows, where certain interfaces (e.g. pppX on Linux) disappear and reappear randomly.
