Joachim Bauch 5b32f238f3 Securely clear memory containing key information / passwords before freeing.
The previously used "memset(ptr, 0, size)" can get optimized away by compilers
if "ptr" is not used afterwards.

A new class "ZeroOnFreeBuffer" is introduced that can hold sensitive data and
that automatically clears underlying memory when it's no longer used.
