Securely zeroize a buffer.
The function is meant to wipe the data contained in a buffer so that it can no longer be recovered even if the program memory is later compromised. Call this function on sensitive data stored on the stack before returning from a function, and on sensitive data stored on the heap before freeing the heap object. It is extremely difficult to guarantee that calls to mbedtls_platform_zeroize() are not removed by aggressive compiler optimizations in a portable way. For this reason, Mbed TLS provides the configuration option MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_ZEROIZE_ALT, which allows users to configure mbedtls_platform_zeroize() to use a suitable implementation for their platform and needs
