Use the explicit_bzero() function in places where it is important that
security information such as passwords is cleared from memory. There
might be other places where it could be useful; this is just an
initial collection.
For platforms that don't have explicit_bzero(), provide various
fallback implementations. (explicit_bzero() itself isn't standard,
but as Linux/glibc, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD have it, it's the most common
spelling, so it makes sense to make that the invocation point.)
