* Enable FORITFY and NX for native builds
meshtasticd does have an executable stack and is not built with fortify, which makes exploitation of memory corruption bugs easier than it has to be. This enables fortify and a non-executable stack.
This gives the following improvements on Debian Trixie:
$ checksec --file=./.pio/build/native/meshtasticd
RELRO STACK CANARY NX PIE RPATH RUNPATH Symbols FORTIFY Fortified Fortifiable FILE
Partial RELRO No canary found NX enabled PIE enabled No RPATH No RUNPATH 13516 Symbols No 0 17 ./.pio/build/native/meshtasticd
$ checksec --file=./.pio/build/native/meshtasticd
RELRO STACK CANARY NX PIE RPATH RUNPATH Symbols FORTIFY Fortified Fortifiable FILE
Partial RELRO Canary found NX enabled PIE enabled No RPATH No RUNPATH 13519 Symbols Yes 12 20 ./.pio/build/native/meshtasticd
Tested with --sim mode I do not get any crashes or similar.

* Delete unused code
CryptoEngine::clearKeys() is not used in the code base, therefore this
cleanup removes the code. It might give casual reviewers the impression,
that keys are wiped.
Since the code uses memset() which might be optimized away by the
compiler, using the code might not even cause the memory
to be wiped.
* Update CryptoEngine.cpp
Fix stray newline, this is the only thing that I can come up with that might confuse the linter.
