Prevent mbedtls_psa_register_se_key with volatile keys
mbedtls_psa_register_se_key() is not usable with volatile keys, since there
is no way to return the implementation-chosen key identifier which would be
needed to use the key. Document this limitation. Reject an attempt to create
such an unusable key. Fixes #9253.
