This PR adds support for zeroizing the Scalar values following the
zeroizecrate. Unfortunately the underlying type of the Scalar type in this crateblst_frdoes not implement theZeroizetrait, so the PR implements it manually using unsafe code.If the underlying type was
blst_scalar, the task would have been trivial because that type does implementZeroize. I know the difference between these two was discussed in the past: #10. Just wanted to mention that the lack of zeroize upstream forblst_frseems to point to the fact thatblst_scalarshould have been used instead.
