Check for memset_explicit() and explicit_memset()
We can use either of these to implement a missing explicit_bzero().
explicit_memset() is supported on NetBSD. NetBSD hitherto didn't have
a way to implement explicit_bzero() other than the fallback variant.
memset_explicit() is the C23 standard, so we use it as first
preference. It is currently supported on:
- NetBSD 11
- FreeBSD 15
- glibc 2.43
It doesn't provide additional coverage, but as it's the new standard,
its availability will presumably grow.
