Add output parameter to mbedtls_gcm_finish

Alternative implementations of GCM may delay the output of partial
blocks from mbedtls_gcm_update(). Add an output parameter to
mbedtls_gcm_finish() to allow such implementations to pass the final
partial block back to the caller. With the software implementation,
this final output is always empty.

API changes
* The interface of the GCM module has changed to remove restrictions on
how the input to multipart operations is broken down. mbedtls_gcm_finish()
now takes an extra output parameter for the last partial output block.
The software implementation always produces the full output at each
call to mbedtls_gcm_update(), but alternative implementations activated
by MBEDTLS_GCM_ALT may delay partial blocks to the next call to
mbedtls_gcm_update() or mbedtls_gcm_finish().
These changes are backward compatible for users of the cipher API.
Features
* The multi-part GCM interface (mbedtls_gcm_update() or
mbedtls_cipher_update()) no longer requires the size of partial inputs to
