> This patch modifies `CipherOutputStream` to avoid pointless memory allocations when decrypting data using AEAD ciphers. This is related to #11597, which fixed a similar issue in `CipherInputStream`.
>
> `Cipher.update` does not output any data when doing AEAD decryption; all data is buffered, and is later returned in one shot from `doFinal`. `Cipher.getOutputSize` returns the buffer size required by `doFinal`, which increases after every `update`, triggering new allocation in `ensureCapacity`.
>
> This patch addresses the issue by calling the `update` overload that returns the output buffer until one of the update calls returns some data. When that happens, we know that the cipher does not buffer everything until `doFinal`, and revert to original behavior.
>
> This PR adds a new benchmark for AES/GCM encryption and decryption using `CipherOutputStream`.

> Benchmark results before:
