Issue ASACORE-2618 <https://jira.allseenalliance.org/browse/ASACORE-2618>

 discusses the fact that AJ_NVRAM_Delete does not clear the memory, making
sensitive data vulnerable to access after deletion. I believe adding an
AJ_NVRAM_SecureDelete function would satisfy the requirements without
adding undue writes to NVRAM every single time delete is called. There are
specific places in the TCL code where we would make the Secure call, but we
could leave everything else using the original one, which does nothing but
mark the NVRAM element id as invalid (much more optimal).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
