Summary

Add 'ivlen' and 'maclen' fields to the structure used for CIOGSESSION2
to specify the explicit IV/nonce and MAC/tag lengths for crypto
sessions. If these fields are zero, the default lengths are used.

This permits selecting an alternate nonce length for AEAD ciphers such
as AES-CCM which support multiple nonce leengths. It also supports
truncated MACs as input to AEAD or ETA requests.
