Scrub keys from memory just before scope end.
Partially implements #74. Securely erases keys from memory after they are no longer needed. Might have a performance impact, which I haven't measured (perf measurements aren't generally reliable on laptops). Thanks to @stoffu for the suggestion to specialize the pod_to_hex/hex_to_pod functions. Using overloads + SFINAE instead generalizes it so other types can be marked as scrubbed without adding more boilerplate.
