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
