Description
There are a number of instances in the spec were we use the terms "session key" and "room key" interchangeably to mean the symmetric key used to encrypt a set of events within a megolm session.
We also use "session key" to describe the ID for a UISI session, etc.
We should pick one. And as for UISI etc. sessions: use "session ID" instead.
