treewide: replace homegrown memory_erase with explicit_bzero

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.
