Preserve NonZero and Odd invariants in Zeroize impls#1287

Conversation
NonZero and Odd wrappers implemented Zeroize by zeroizing their inner values directly. That can leave a live wrapper containing zero or an even value, violating the wrapper invariant after a safe method call. After zeroizing the inner storage, restore a one-like sentinel value so the wrapper remains valid. This mirrors zeroize's behavior for core NonZero integer types, and preserves boxed integer precision via One::one_like. Co-authored-by: GPT 5.5 <gpt-5.5@openai.com>

Preserve
NonZeroandOddwrapper invariants afterzeroize().The current
Zeroizeimpls zeroize the wrapped value directly. ForNonZero<T>andOdd<T>, that can leave a live wrapper containing zero or an even value after a safe method call, violating the wrapper's type invariant.This changes the impls to zeroize the inner storage and then restore a one-like sentinel value. That keeps the wrapper valid after zeroization, mirrors the
zeroizecrate's behavior for coreNonZero*integer types, and preserves boxed integer precision throughOne::one_like.The tests cover stack and boxed
NonZero/Oddvalues, including boxed precision preservation after zeroization.This work was completed by Trail of Bits as part of the Patch The Planet project in collaboration with OpenAI. The vulnerability was identified primarily by the Codex coding agent, and manually reviewed before submission.
