When SoftHSMv2 is used for testing PKCS#11 client code before hardware is available, maximum session count on a token needs to be set in order to detects bugs in client code where sessions are leaked and remain open. This can cause problems since most hardware implementations have a limit on opened sessions count.

This change sets a limit to general session count.

Shouldn't this default to the original value or be runtime configurable?

Those of us using this entirely in software don't want arbitrary low session limits.

Additionally, I believe we also need to provide new defines when building with CMake (see config.h.in.cmake and CMakeLists.txt).
