[PATCH] Use memset for short constant length wipememory2

[Jussi Kivilinna]

* src/g10lib.h (fast_wipememory2_inline): New.
(wipememory2): Use 'fast_wipememory2_inline', remove 'fast_wipememory2'
use; Use _gcry_fast_wipememory* only when _len is not constant.
(fast_wipememory_s, fast_wipememory2): Remove.
--

Use of memset allows better code generation by compiler -
for example, use of vector registers for memory clearing.
