crypto: nx - add NX-842 platform frontend driver
Add NX-842 frontend that allows using either the pSeries platform or PowerNV platform driver (to be added by later patch) for the NX-842 hardware. Update the MAINTAINERS file to include the new filenames. Update Kconfig files to clarify titles and descriptions, and correct dependencies.

- Support for Power7+ in-Nest cryptographic acceleration.
+ This enables support for the NX hardware cryptographic accelerator
+ coprocessor that is in IBM PowerPC P7+ or later processors. This
+ does not actually enable any drivers, it only allows you to select
+ which acceleration type (encryption and/or compression) to enable.
