This is done to account for platforms, for which we want custom behavior
upon the program termination, hence we call `mbedtls_exit()` instead of
returning from `main()`.
For the sake of consistency, introduces the modifications have been made
to the test and utility examples as well. These, while less likely to be
used in the low level environments, won't suffer from such a change.
It works in practice on almost every platform, given that we're only
using the wrong type in cases where the value is guaranteed to stay
within the value bits of a signed int. But even in this case it may or
may not be strictly conforming. Anyway `gcc -std=c99 -pedantic`
rejects it.

This commit replaces multiple `memset()` calls in the example
programs aes/aescrypt2.c and aes/crypt_and_hash.c by calls to
the reliable zeroization function `mbedtls_zeroize()`.
While not a security issue because the code is in the example
programs, it's bad practice and should be fixed.
The AES sample application programs/aes/aescrypt2 could miss zeroizing
the stack-based key buffer in case of an error during operation. This
commit fixes this and also clears another temporary buffer as well as
all command line arguments (one of which might be the key) before exit.

* Fix crypt_and_hash to support decrypting GCM encrypted files
* Fix documentation in crypt_and_hash for the generic case
* Remove unused lastn from crypt_and_hash
lastn is not used with the cipher layer as it already provides padding
and understanding of length of the original data.
Note from future self: actually md_init_ctx will be re-introduced with the
same signature later, and a new function with the additional argument will be
added.
