shred: remove redundant zeroing of freed memory

* src/shred.c (dopass): shred used to read the input file,
and so needed to ensure internal memory was cleared.
This is no longer the case since SH-UTILS-1_16f-260-gf381610
so avoid this redundant clearing.
(do_wipefd): Likewise.
* NEWS: Remove the recent mention of this issue.
