Rather than the asym session create function returning a session on
success, and a NULL value on error, it is modified to now return int
values - 0 on success or -EINVAL/-ENOTSUP/-ENOMEM on failure.
The session to be used is passed as input.

This adds clarity on the failure of the create function, which enables
treating the -ENOTSUP return as TEST_SKIPPED in test apps.

v3:
  - Fixed variable declarations, putting initialised variable last.
  - Made function comment for return value more generic.
  - Fixed log to include line break.
  - Added documentation.
