modules: make use of secure memory erasure
Use empty initialization of structs to minimize the memset() usage, to reduce the amount of calls which are not sensitive. Non trivial changes: - pam_env: * erase environment variables where possible - pam_exec: * erase responce on error * erase auth token - pam_pwhistory: * erase buffers containing old passwords - pam_selinux: skip overwriting data structure consisting of only pointers to insensitive data, which also gets free'd afterwards (so it currently does not protect against double-free or use-after-free on the member pointers) - pam_unix: erase cipher data in more places - pam_userdb: erase password hashes
