Description:
In the Connector/Python class `mysql.connector.constants.ClientFlag`, the `SESION_TRACK` flag constant is a misspelling. It should be `SESSION_TRACK`. Normally, I would say that, for backwards compatibility with those people already using `SESION_TRACK`, both constants should be maintained, and I won't object if that's the route you take, e.g.:

    SESION_TRACK = 1 << 23  # deprecated
    SESSION_TRACK = 1 << 23

However, since nothing else in Connector/Python supports session tracking (nothing calls `mysql_session_track_get_next` or `mysql_session_track_get_first`), I highly doubt anyone is currently using `SESION_TRACK`.

How to repeat:
Read the source code.

Suggested fix:
Fix the spelling.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Connector/Python 8.0.33 release, and here's the proposed changelog entry from the documentation team:

Added the SESSION_TRACK constant to replace the now deprecated
SESION_TRACK constant.

Thank you for the bug report.
