Research direction
Locate the definitions of blake2::Blake2b512, Blake2bVarCore, and their core/buffer components, then compare the existing ZeroizeOnDrop implementations. Check the other wrapper types mentioned in the issue for the same omission. Done means the affected wrappers implement ZeroizeOnDrop consistently with their decomposed components, with verification in the relevant Rust tests.
