GROUND: CAN2LAN COSMOS bridge setup working for telecommands #85

We are using the PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR for the CAN to LAN bridge for the flat-sat interface. It is being used in the "raw TCP port" mode, where all messages are dropped onto the TCP network with a fixed, 36-byte structure per CAN message.

Issue #84 tracked getting the core functionality working (the device itself, network setup, etc.); this tracks getting a COSMOS telecommand packet defined to make sure we don't have any issues on that side.

This shouldn't be particularly involved, as the PCAN packet structure must be used bidirectionally - so we just need to map the COSMOS command packet definition to this.
