This allows efficient decryption also of very large files and long
strings.
It is usually highly advisable to stick to common and portable library
predicates such as append/3. However, since append/3 does not yet
recognize this opportunity for improvement, I apply it manually in
this case, so that also very large files can be efficiently decrypted
using the compact internal string representation.
Without this change, decrypting a 1 GB file takes 48 GB of RAM,
whereas with this change, it only takes 2 GB (one for the string, one
for its copy with the appended tag).
