Documentation for backing OCIcrypt with PKCS #11 and SoftHSM2 is already
available. It is also possible to do this with an IBM CryptoExpress HSM,
but there are some specifics to know. Add documentation for this.

@Jakob-Naucke Great! I had used the IBM CEX for experiments previously and it helped shape the code to what it is now. I am currently away but I'll have a look at your write-up once I am back. Thanks!

Awesome - thanks @Jakob-Naucke , made a couple suggested nits. And in addition, suggested adding a line to just spell out that this is not an endorsement of any particular choice.

@stefanberger do you have a chance to look at this? Am good from my side, but this is your area of specialty, so will defer to you.

Ah, I had forgotten about this PR. Apart from that one change I requested it looks good to me.
