test/p_ossltest: fix uninitialised bytes written in TLS1-AAD GCM mode
The test provider's fake AES-128-GCM cipher works by running the real
sub-cipher for its side effects and then copying the memdup'd input
back over the output buffer, so the "encrypted" record is really the
plaintext.
In a TLS record the buffer handed to the cipher reserves an
uninitialised 8-byte explicit IV at the front and a 16-byte auth tag
at the end for the cipher to fill. OPENSSL_memdup() duplicated those
uninitialised IV/tag regions, and the subsequent memcpy(out, inbuf, inl)
copied them into out. That output was then written to the socket,
triggering valgrind's "Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised
byte(s)":
at sock_write (bss_sock.c:155)
by bwrite_conv (bio_meth.c:79)
by BIO_write (bio_lib.c:397)
by statem_flush (statem.c:963)
by ossl_statem_client_post_work (statem_clnt.c:881)
...
Track whether EVP_CTRL_AEAD_TLS1_AAD was set (recorded in
set_ctx_params) and, when encrypting a TLS record, copy only the
plaintext payload back, leaving the explicit IV and tag that the real
sub-cipher actually produced intact.
