Subject: [PATCH] fix: update dialyzer ignore for Gleam type system interop
 (#131)

- Add vendored snmpkit/snmp_lib paths in src/ to ignore patterns
- Document and ignore Gleam<->Erlang type system mismatches
- Gleam's Int doesn't map to non_neg_integer() (contract_supertype)
- Gleam's opaque types not understood by Dialyzer (call_without_opaque)
- All Gleam code compiles and passes tests - these are false positives

Result: Zero dialyzer errors in our own code (1284/1311 skipped)
