liblzma: Set all values in lzma_lz_encoder to NULL after allocation.
The first member of lzma_lz_encoder doesn't necessarily need to be set to NULL since it will always be set before anything tries to use it. However the function pointer members must be set to NULL since other functions rely on this NULL value to determine if this behavior is supported or not. This fixes a somewhat serious bug, where the options_update() and set_out_limit() function pointers are not set to NULL. This seems to have been forgotten since these function pointers were added many years after the original two (code() and end()). The problem is that by not setting this to NULL we are relying on the memory allocation to zero things out if lzma_filters_update() is called on a LZMA1 encoder. The function pointer for set_out_limit() is less serious because there is not an API function that could call this in an incorrect way. set_out_limit() is only called by the MicroLZMA encoder, which must use LZMA1 where set_out_limit() is always set. Its currently not possible to call set_out_limit() on an LZMA2 encoder at this time. So calling lzma_filters_update() on an LZMA1 encoder had undefined behavior since its possible that memory could be manipulated so the options_update member pointed to a different instruction sequence. This is unlikely to be a bug in an existing application since it relies on calling lzma_filters_update() on an LZMA1 encoder in the first place. For instance, it does not affect xz because lzma_filters_update() can only be used when encoding to the .xz format. This is fixed by using memzero() to set all members of lzma_lz_encoder to NULL after it is allocated. This ensures this mistake will not occur here in the future if any additional function pointers are added.
