This follows what the kernel is doing, c.f.

And let's port over a couple of users to the new APIs.

strlen_ptr() is to strlen() what streq_ptr() is to streq(): i.e. it
handles NULL strings in a smart way.

explicit_bzero was added in glibc 2.25. Make use of it.
explicit_bzero is hardcoded to zero the memory, so string erase now
truncates the string, instead of overwriting it with 'x'. This causes
a visible difference only in the journalctl case.

This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that
stuff in every file.

In contrast to ascii_strcasecmp_nn() it takes two character buffers with their individual length. It will then compare
the buffers up the smaller size of the two buffers, and finally the length themselves.

memory_erase() so far just called memset(), which the compiler might
optimize away under certain conditions if it feels there's benefit in
it. C11 knows a new memset_s() call that is like memset(), but may not
be optimized away. Ideally, we'd just use that call, but glibc currently
does not support it. Hence, implement our own simplistic version of it.
We use a GCC pragma to turn off optimization for this call, and also use
the "volatile" keyword on the pointers to ensure that gcc will use the
pointers as-is. According to a variety of internet sources, either one
does the trick. However, there are also reports that at least the
volatile thing isn't fully correct, hence let's add some snake oil and
employ both techniques.
