Deprecate LLDP in inventory in favour of a new collector
Binary LLDP data is bloating inventory causing us to disable its collection by default. For other similar low-level information, such as PCI devices or DMI data, we already use inspection collectors instead. Now that the inventory format is shared with out-of-band inspection, having LLDP there makes even less sense. This change adds a new collector ``lldp`` to replace the now-deprecated inventory field.
