During the addition of explicit_bzero(), there was an agreement to use
memset_s(), as it is blessed by the standard:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20190717211931.GA906@alvherre.pgsql

So what would be the advantage of explicit_memset() knowing that
NetBSD has memset_s()?  This also means that your patch is a no-op for
NetBSD as HAVE_MEMSET_S would be set.
