Encrypt then authenticate with ChaCha20-Poly1305 (IETF variant).

The IETF variant uses 96-bit nonces and 32-bit internal counters, instead of 64-bit for both.

message: The plaintext message to encrypt.
additional_data: Additional, authenticated data. This is used in the verification of the authentication tag appended to the ciphertext, but it is not encrypted or stored in the ciphertext.
nonce: A number that must be only used once, per message. 12 bytes long.
key: Encryption key (256-bit).

Returns the ciphertext and tag on success, or false on failure.
