Sylvain Munaut da9f37ed20 libvlr: Allow 2G auth tuples to be re-used without going through AUTH
If the key_seq we get in the first messages matches the last_tuple, then
both we and the MS already know the key to use and we don't need the
AUTH REQUEST/RESPONSE cycle.

Security wise ... not so good, and so IMHO the 'auth required' option
in the MSC should always be set. But this allows to turn on ciphering on
a channel without doing any MM transaction, and so the MS doesn't turn
on the T3240 timer which allows to have a ciphered silent-call channel
that won't timeout.

About OsmoMSC
=============

OsmoMSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic
all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached
maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of
IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one
approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.

OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before, it was
the libmsc part of the old OsmoNITB. Since a true A interface and IuCS for 3G
support is available, OsmoMSC exists only as a separate standalone entity.

OsmoMSC exposes
- GSUP towards OsmoHLR (or a MAP proxy);
- A over IP towards a BSC (e.g. OsmoBSC);
- IuCS towards an RNC or HNB-GW (e.g. OsmoHNBGW) for 3G voice;
- MNCC (Mobile Network Call Control derived from GSM TS 04.07);
- SMPP 3.4 (Short Message Peer-to-Peer);
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
