Description

The type ChaCha20Poly1305 should implement Zeroize. Also, I do not sure if AesGcm should implement Zeroize too. It will allow the user to implement Zeroize for types containing them.

Research direction

Confirm whether both types should implement Zeroize and define completion by adding the requested implementations with coverage for the relevant behavior.
