    MAIN APP - START
    This app is broken up into two separate sections
        - retrieve show output information from a device within the device_info.csv
        - dynamically create .csv files for each device containing this information
    The following block of code handles the processing of data within the device_info.csv file.
        - open the file in read-only mode and store the session as a variable csv file
        - read through the data and store the information as variable reader
        - begin for loop

        The following block of code handles the heart and soul of the app, the mighty for loop

            The following block of code handles the building of the ssh session through Netmiko
                - pulls the hostname, username, and password from the .csv file
                - builds a dictionary with this informaiton
                - creates an SSH session and stores it as ssh_session variable
                - finds the hostname and replaces the # sign from the prompt
                - prints out to the console a bunch of pretty formatting to highlight what device we're 
                  currently iterating through.
                - grabs the output of a show cdp neighbor detail, only including relevant information
