lib/crypto: aes-gcm: Provide functions for zeroizing aes_gcm* structures
In certain cases crypto code needs to zeroize their local aes_gcm_key or aes_gcm_ctx structures after use to avoid leaking sensitive material. Provide aes_gcm_zeroize_key() and aes_gcm_zeroize_ctx() helper functions that e.g. can be used with __cleanup() to automatically zeroize the structures when they go out of scope. While we're at it, replace the related memzero_explicit() calls in lib/crypto/aes.c with calls to the new helper functions.
