test: speedup bip324_cipher.py unit test

Executing the unit tests for the bip324_cipher.py module currently
takes quite long (>60 seconds on my notebook). Most time here is spent
in empty plaintext/ciphertext encryption/decryption loops:

    ....
    for _ in range(msg_idx):
        enc_aead.encrypt(b"", b"")
    ...
    for _ in range(msg_idx):
        enc_aead.decrypt(b"", bytes(16))
    ...

Their sole purpose is increasing the FSChaCha20Poly1305 packet
counters in order to trigger rekeying, i.e. the actual
encryption/decryption is not relevant, as the result is thrown away.
This commit speeds up the tests by supporting to pass "None" as
plaintext/ciphertext, indicating to the routines that no actual
encryption/decryption should be done.
