For policy versions between 20 and 23 the type_val_to_struct array might
contain gaps. Skip those gaps to avoid NULL pointer dereferences:

v3:
   - drop extra error blocks in kernel_to_(cil|conf).c in favor of a
     simple non-NULL check, as writing policies between version 20 and
     23 is not supported and previously checked
   - refuse to optimize policies between version 20 and 23 altogether
     and simplify NULL checks
