Use BouncyCastle AES GCM cipher and I/O streams instead of JCA
This resolves two issues: * `javax.crypto.OutputCipherStream` swallows MAC tag mismatch exceptions when the stream is closed, which means that corruptions (intentional or not) are not caught. This is documented behavior, but still very surprising and a rather questionable default. BC's interchangeable `CipherOutputStream` throws as expected. To avoid regressions, add an explicit test that both ciphertext and MAC tag corruptions are propagated. * The default-provided `AES/GCM/NoPadding` `Cipher` instance will not emit decrypted plaintext per `update()` chunk, but buffer everything until `doFinal()` is invoked when the stream is closed. This means that decrypting very large ciphertexts can blow up memory usage since internal output buffers are reallocated and increased per iteration...! Instead use an explicit BC `GCMBlockCipher` which has the expected behavior (and actually lets cipher streams, well, _stream_). Add an `AeadCipher` abstraction to avoid leaking BC APIs outside the security module.
