, i forgot to add a description
Thanks for the patch and the testing!
It's a straightforward patch that works on later versions of OpenBSD,
NetBSD, and OS X.
(Using memset_s(..., ..., 0, ...) then memset(..., ..., byte, ...) is
redundant, but I'm ok with that. It makes our choice between alternative
functions clearer, which is important in security-critical code.)
Let's get this merged, then close this ticket.

(I've split off #17986 for using SecureZeroMemory on Windows.)
(Removing nickm-patch because the latest patch is not by nickm.)
