Use plain memset() for freshly allocated objects

This commits reverts to plain memset() for cases like:

    some_type foo;
    memset( &foo, 0, sizeof( foo ) );

(Sometimes there is code between declaration in memset(), but it doesn't
matter as long as it doesn't touch foo.)

The reasoning is the same as in the previous commit: the stack shouldn't
contain sensitive data as we carefully wipe it after use.
