In particular, the tests must validate that each `PSA_xxx` constant that is stored in a key is covered by at least one test case:

Method:
* For alternative locations: have tests conditional on the presence of a driver for that location.
* For alternative persistence levels: TODO
* For alternative persistence levels: have load-and-check tests for supported persistence levels. We may also want to have negative tests ensuring that keys with a not-supported persistence level are not accidentally created.
