In an Inter-RAT setup a UE could perform a TAU coming from a 2G/3G network.
In that case the UE/MS is unknown to the MME and it should request the
SGSN context (MM, PDP) from the old SGSN. This is done through the following
GTPv1C message exchange on the Gn interface of SGSN and MME:
SGSN <- MME: SGSN Context Request
SGSN -> MME: SGSN Context Response
SGSN <- MME: SGSN Context Acknowledge
Diagram with full set of steps can be found at 3GPP TS 23.401 D.3.6.
This commit doesn't aim to be a complete implementation of the mentioned
procedure, since it's quite a complex one, with lots of fields and logic
required. This so far only implements in general the minimally
successful case by filling as much as possible the required set of
fields.
This will allow for a base onto which do incremental improvements and
fixes while testing against UEs and SGSNs (such as osmo-sgsn, which
doesn't yet support this procedure but will potentially earn it soon).
The reverse direction, aka UE issuing cell reselection 4G->2G was
already implemented (same as here, initial non-complete implementation)
in open5gs-mmed in commit 3d693da73e.

Found no support for HSS provided charging characteristics. Following TS32.251 A.4:
- Use PDN level CC, if one wasn't provided then use subscription level CC
- Don't send CC in S11 if it wasn't included
In the past only GTPv2C was supported, and had the "gtp" generic prefix.
Later on, GTPv1C support was added, and "gtp1" prefix was used.
Let's move GTPv2C specific bits to have "gtp2" prefix too, and leave
"gtp" prefix for generic stuff among different GTP versions.

* mme: don't reject with 'IMSI is unknown in HLR' (permanent reject)
* MME: Implement S6a result -> EMM cause code mapping
Closes: #263
* Spencer: modification to Haralds fix because macros are now renamed
* MME: don't assert on MAC failures of uplink NAS frames
Closes: #267
* MME: Avoid ogs_assert() in many situations
We don't want to crash the entire program just because a message
received from an external entity didn't match some of our expectations.
* compiles fine, checked DIFFs and only difference is the ogs_assert -> ogs_expect
