Separate secp256k1_fe_set_int( . , 0 ) from secp256k1_fe_clear()

Browse Source 
There are two uses of the secp256k1_fe_clear() function that are now separated
into these two functions in order to reflect the intent:

1) initializing the memory prior to being used -> converted to fe_set_int( . , 0 )
2) zeroing the memory after being used such that no sensitive data remains. ->
    remains as fe_clear()

In the latter case, 'magnitude' and 'normalized' need to be overwritten when
VERIFY is enabled.
