[PATCH v9 04/11] tpm2-sessions: Define TPM2_NAME_MAX_SIZE

Define TPM2_NAME_MAX_SIZE, which describes the maximum size for hashes
encoded as TPMT_HA, which the prime identifier used for persistent and
transient keys in TPM2 protocol.

Set its value to 'SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE + 2', as SHA512 has the largest
digest size of the algorithms in TCG algorithm repository.

In additionl, rename TPM2_NAME_SIZE as TPM2_NULL_NAME_SIZE in order to
avoid any possible confusion.
