  Log Message:
  -----------
  Check the tag on EVP_Cipher() finalize: Poly1305 and OCB AEADs

At the EVP level, for AEADs EVP_Cipher(ctx, out, NULL, 0) performs
finalization. For consistency across AEADs (GCM, etc.), on decrypt it
must check the tag. OCB and ChaCha20-Poly1305 took an early exit on the
empty message (with or without AAD) and returned success without
checking, so a forged tag (with or without AAD) was accepted before this
change.
