Tell a refused PDU apart from a session that failed (#82)

* Regression tests for telling a refused PDU from a failed session

* Export PduRefusedError so a refusal can be told from a session failure

* Document telling a refused PDU from a session failure

* Share the malformed-PDU fixtures and pin that a dead stream is no refusal

* Say once what a refusal is, and why the header type is published

* Fold the refused-response test into the one that already staged it

* Drop the refusal-rate claim the interop finding does not support

* Build a raw PDU one way, sequence number included

* Follow PduRefusedError into pdu-refusal.ts

deliberately not called `error`: Node turns an unhandled `error` event into a thrown exception, which
is exactly what this library promises not to do.
`sessionError` carries two kinds of failure, and `PduRefusedError` is what separates them:
- **A PDU the peer sent that the codec could not read with the stream still in sync.** The link is
healthy and only that one PDU is lost, so this is the kind to count rather than alert on.
- **Everything else**: the session or the socket failing, and a hook or listener that threw or, if it
was `async`, rejected.
```javascript
import { PduRefusedError } from '@larvit/smpp';
session.on('sessionError', err => {
if (err instanceof PduRefusedError) {
log.warn('the peer sent a PDU that could not be read', {
cmdName: err.header.cmdName ?? err.header.cmdId,
reason: err.reason,
});
return;
}
log.error('the session failed', { message: err.message });
});
```
`reason` is `command`, `body` or `tlvs`, naming the part the codec stopped at, and `header` is the 16
octets that did parse: `cmdId`, `cmdLength`, `cmdName`, `cmdStatusId` and `seqNr`. `cmdName` is
undefined where the command id names no command this library knows — `PduHeader` is its type, for a
TypeScript consumer passing it on.
A refused inbound `deliver_sm` is lost traffic: a message or a receipt that never arrives as `sms` or
`dlr`, and this event is where that loss shows up. A refused *response* is reported twice where a
call is still waiting on it, once as the `err` that `sendSms()` or `send()` returns and once here.
That is deliberate: the call answers what became of that one send, and the event is what shows a peer
answering unreadably at all.
