Reassemble a concatenated message segmented with the sar_* TLVs (#91)

* Regression tests for inbound sar_* concatenation

* Reassemble a concatenated message segmented with the sar_* TLVs

* Record the sar_* fix in the jasmin and Java-client findings

* Name the sar_* TLVs in the refusal, and separate group keys the addresses cannot forge

* Name the field a refused segment got wrong, and key groups on a separator no address holds

* Bound the new session tests, and derive Concat from the UDH fields

+  for the TLVs, whose segment's `esm_class` is 0x00 and correct. Keying them together instead would
+  assemble two of a peer's messages into one, since a UDH reference is 8 bits and `sar_msg_ref_num`
+  is 16 and neither counts the other's messages; the two UDH widths share a space because they are
+  one sender's counter in one layer, where a `sar_*` reference is another layer's. A UDH that names
+  the concatenation wins over the TLVs — one carrying only a port leaves them to say — which keeps
+  the change additive for every message that reassembled before, and leaves the library nothing to
+  guess where the two disagree. Rejected: preferring the TLVs, which regroups every message a
+  gateway derived them from. Rejected: comparing the parts and reporting a disagreement: the
+  references are not comparable at all, and where the parts are, the UDH is still what the message
+  is assembled by, so the report would name a failure the application cannot act on. Accepted: a
+  peer that switches spelling mid-message now has two groups that expire rather than fragments that
+  arrive, which goal 2 prefers to a message assembled from two counters. Receive-only: `sendSms()`
+  goes on writing a UDH with an 8-bit reference, where a send-side `sar_*` would be a second
+  spelling of one message whose only difference is which peers accept it.
