[srslte-users] srsUE not joining any cell

Hey again

Ok, got the UE attached. Digging through the nas.cc file I noted that it 
only supports EPS only attaches. Changing our ePC to support EPS only 
attaches, it connects and I can get online.

Just flagging this as a potential issue for when trying to attach srsUE 
to commercial networks - it is rather unlikely that a commercial core 
would support an EPS only attach. Probably worth adding to the 
documentation!

Thanks
Kenny
