Make our usage of memset_s() conform strictly to the C11 standard. Per the letter of the C11 standard, one must #define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ as 1 before including <string.h> in order to have access to memset_s(). It appears that many platforms are lenient about this, because we weren't doing it and yet the code appeared to work anyway. But we now find that with -std=c11, macOS is strict and doesn't declare memset_s, leading to compile failures since we try to use it anyway. (Given the lack of prior reports, perhaps this is new behavior in the latest SDK? No matter, we're clearly in the wrong.)
In addition to the immediate problem, which could be fixed merely by adding the needed #define to explicit_bzero.c, it seems possible that our configure-time probe for memset_s() could fail in case a platform implements the function in some odd way due to this spec requirement. This concern can be fixed in largely the same way that we dealt with strchrnul() in 6da2ba1d8: switch to using a declaration-based configure probe instead of a does-it-link probe. Back-patch to v13 where we started using memset_s().
