Jakob Unterwurzacher 0c520845f3 main: purge masterkey from memory as soon as possible
Remove the "Masterkey" field from fusefrontend.Args because it
should not be stored longer than neccessary. Instead pass the
masterkey as a separate argument to the filesystem initializers.

Then overwrite it with zeros immediately so we don't have
to wait for garbage collection.

Note that the crypto implementation still stores at least a
masterkey-derived value, so this change makes it harder, but not
impossible, to extract the encryption keys from memory.
