Adding OPENSSL_secure_zalloc and BIO_s_secmem (#1476)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
### Description of changes: 
Added BIO_s_secmem and OPENSSL_secure_zalloc. These functions are
related to Secure Heaps which aren't supported in AWS-LC. Therefore,
these functions use their normal alternatives (BIO_s_mem and
OPENSSL_zalloc).
