Don't derive secure_allocator from std::allocator

Affects both secure_allocator and zero_after_free_allocator.

Giving the C++ Standard Committee control of the public interface of your type means they will break it. C++23 adds a new `allocate_at_least` member to `std::allocator`. Very bad things happen when, say, `std::vector` uses `allocate_at_least` from `secure_allocator`'s base to allocate memory which it then tries to free with `secure_allocator::deallocate`.

Drive-by: Aggressively remove facilities unnecessary since C++11 from both allocators to keep things simple.
