Bugfix
* Remove PSA'a AEAD finish/verify output buffer limitation for GCM.
The requirement of minimum 15 bytes for output buffer in
psa_aead_finish() and psa_aead_verify() does not apply to the built-in
implementation of GCM.
* Move GCM's update output buffer length verification from PSA AEAD to
the built-in implementation of the GCM.
The requirement for output buffer size to be equal or greater then
input buffer size is valid only for the built-in implementation of GCM.
Alternative GCM implementations can process whole blocks only.
API changes
* New error code for GCM: MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
Alternative GCM implementations are expected to verify
the length of the provided output buffers and to return the
MBEDTLS_ERR_GCM_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL in case the buffer length is too small.
