gcc 8.3.0 was apparently clever enough to optimize away the previously
used os_memset() to explicitly clear a stack buffer that contains keys
when that clearing happened just before returning from the function.
Since memset_s() is not exactly portable (or commonly available yet..),
use a less robust mechanism that is still pretty likely to prevent
current compilers from optimizing the explicit clearing of the memory
away.

The local hash[] buffer may contain parts of the derived key, so clear
it explicitly to minimize number of unnecessary copies of key material
in memory.

Some crypto libraries can return in these functions (e.g., if a specific
hash function is disabled), so we better provide the caller a chance to
check whether the call failed. The return values are not yet used
anywhere, but they will be needed for future changes.
