0b59f80625 LockedPool: fix explosion for illegal-sized alloc
Check for unreasonable alloc size in LockedPool rather than lancing through new
Arenas until we improbably find one worthy of the quixotic request or the system
can support no more Arenas.

4536148b15 support: Add LockedPool
Add a pool for locked memory chunks, replacing LockedPageManager.

This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. The current
approach of locking objects where they happen to be on the stack or heap
in-place causes a lot of mlock/munlock system call overhead, slowing
down any handling of keys.

Also locked memory is a limited resource on many operating systems (and
using a lot of it bogs down the system), so the previous approach of
locking every page that may contain any key information (but also other
information) is wasteful.

f4d1fc259b wallet: Get rid of LockObject and UnlockObject calls in key.h
Replace these with vectors allocated from the secure allocator.

This avoids mlock syscall churn on stack pages, as well as makes
it possible to get rid of these functions.

Please review this commit and the previous one carefully that
no `sizeof(vectortype)` remains in the memcpys and memcmps usage
(ick!), and `.data()` or `&vec[x]` is used as appropriate instead of
&vec.

881027a79d Remove assertion from ~LockedPageManager
This assertion will occur any time that the client quits without
shutting down properly due to an error condition. As the user will
report this error instead of the error that was the root cause, it is
better to remove it.

d7d187e8a4 allocators: split allocators and pagelocker
Pagelocker is only needed for secure (usually wallet) operations, so don't make
the zero-after-free allocator depend on it.

1630219d90 openssl: abstract out OPENSSL_cleanse
This makes it easier for us to replace it if desired, since it's now only in
one spot. Also, it avoids the openssl include from allocators.h, which
essentially forced openssl to be included from every compilation unit.
