erbsland-dev d15077d336 Clarify EVP_CipherUpdate() authenticated bytes behavior
Fixes #8310: Document that the number of authenticated bytes returned by EVP_CipherUpdate() varies with the cipher used. Mention that stream ciphers like ChaCha20 can handle 1 byte at a time, while OCB mode requires processing data one block at a time. Ensure it's clear that passing unpadded data in one call is safe.
