Bug Description
when a device doesn't respond to IF-MIB::ifName, ipdevpoll substitutes the value found in IF-MIB::ifDescr. Oftentimes, the ifDescr value is quite verbose. This breaks the port layout in ipdevinfo, which is designed for port numbers or short names (such as `Gi1/2`).
If an interface is found to be a switch port, but no ifName value can be collected, ipdevpoll should substitute the dot1dBasePort number for the ifName. If not a switch port, it should fall back to substituting ifDescr as is being done today.

This fix depends on the bridge plugin running before the interfaces plugin of the ipdevpoll inventory job - the config file is updated by this patch as well.
