  crypto/helper: Add secure wipe function

Adds a cryptographically secure wipe function to wipe structs with
sensitive data. Works by first casting the pointer to a `volatile`
pointer to ensure that the compiler doesn't optimize the "memset" away.

  crypto/helper: Add test for crypto_secure_wipe

The test added for crypto_secure_wipe wipes a buffer with a secret in
it. Only the last byte is kept as it was. The last byte is used to check
that the function doesn't write outside the supplied buffer.
