The AES-SIV ciphers have a peculiarity that it prepends authentication
tag to the generated ciphertext rather than appending.  The
gnutls_aead_cipher_encryptv2 previously was not able to cope with that
and returned wrong authentication tag.  This patch adds a new cipher
flag GNUTLS_CIPHER_FLAG_TAG_PREFIXED to indicate it.
