Core API AEAD Cipher #119
Description
Basing off feature/symmetric-cipher branch, establish AEADCipherEncryptor and AEADCipherDecryptor in a similar manner to BlockCipherEncryptor and BlockCipherDecryptor.
To be used for the ASCON lowmemory derivative later, as well as subsequent features.

Actually, Francis is now doing GCM, I seem to have run out of time, and tokens!
@officialfrancismendoza Francis I had another look at the OpenSSL list, add CCM as well, it's probably a good one to include for other reasons, as it's more a packet cipher than a streaming cipher so it will flush out any issues with the way the AEAD encryptor/decryptor traits are defined that might prevent us from supporting it.

Closed as the Core AEAD Cipher split (#120), which got copied as (#149), were both merged into Simple Ciphers PR (#133)
