EVP_*Update: ensure that input NULL with length 0 isn't passed

Even with custom ciphers, the combination in == NULL && inl == 0
should not be passed down to the backend cipher function.  The reason
is that these are the values passed by EVP_*Final, and some of the
backend cipher functions do check for these to see if a "final" call
is made.

An exception is made for CCM mode which has special handling for the case
where inl == 0: this may mean the total plaintext or ciphertext length is 0.

This is based on an original commit by Richard Levitte.

Fixes #8675
