It seems that ctr_crypt16() would not handle the whole input and that
was complicating things. I've modified it towards that, and added the
parameter. I did a gcm_fill(), but I didn't see the need for the
nettle_block16 update, as the version I did (quite simplistic), didn't
seem to differ in performance comparing to ctr_fill16.

Subject: [PATCH] gcm: use ctr_crypt16() for improved performance

That also enhances ctr_crypt16() to be complete and handle
the full input.
