man/crypttab: do not recommend using /dev/sdX symlinks in /etc/crypttab

This is just wrong. Quering the symlink names with udevadm is not the
easiest, but I think that's the safest way for a documented example.

@ -386,6 +386,10 @@ Features:
* udevd: extend memory pressure logic: also kill any idle worker processes
* udevadm: to make symlink querying with udevadm nicer:
- do not enable the pager for queries like 'udevadm info -q -r symlink'
- add mode with newlines instead of spaces (for grep)?
* SIGRTMIN+18 and memory pressure handling should still be added to: hostnamed,
localed, oomd, timedated.
