it being used by various tools in the DPDK ecosystem, and thus

rte_cryptodev_get_header_session_size() and
rte_cryptodev_get_private_session_size() functions are
targeting symmetric sessions.
With the future addition of asymmetric operations,
these functions need to be renamed from *cryptodev_*_session_*
to *cryptodev_sym_*_session_* to be symmetric specific.
The two original functions are marked as deprecated
and will be removed in 18.08, so applications can still
use the functions in 18.05.

Cryptodev info structure currently contains
a pointer to an rte_pci_device structure.
This field depends on a specific bus type (PCI),
which is not following a bus independent design.

Therefore, there is no need to have, in the cryptodev info
structure, the maximum number of sessions supported per device
