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.
