(*Only* `MODE_CCM`). Length of the associated data.
If not specified, all associated data is buffered internally,
which may represent a problem for very large messages.
initial_value : integer
(*Only* `MODE_CTR`). The initial value for the counter within
the counter block. By default it is 0.
use_aesni : boolean
Use Intel AES-NI hardware extensions if available.
:Return: an AES object, of the applicable mode:
- CBC_ mode
- CCM_ mode
- CFB_ mode
- CTR_ mode
- EAX_ mode
- ECB_ mode
- GCM_ mode
- OCB_ mode
- OFB_ mode
- OpenPgp_ mode
- SIV_ mode
