This change only removes optimizations for older Go releases that we
no longer support in the internal/zero package. This package should
still continue to build on older releases.
This introduce a new internal package to deal with the explicit
clearing of data (such as private keys) in byte slices, byte arrays
(32 and 64-bytes long), and multi-precision "big" integers.
