This caused Emacs with GnuTLS 3.4.15 to crash in the test suite.  The
problem is that the test suite avoids trying AEAD-capable ciphers when
AEAD is unavailable, but one of the changes in the above made _all_
ciphers look like not AEAD-capable.

I fixed it by allowing gnutls_cipher_get_tag_size for versions above
3.2.2, as it should at least allow use to continue skipping
AEAD-capable ciphers based on this assumption, and it shouldn't affect
GnuTLS 2.x.
