f757d9d90d19b914d4023663bfc4da73bbbf007e hw/uefi: clear uefi-vars buffer in uefi_vars_write callback
When the guest writes to register UEFI_VARS_REG_BUFFER_SIZE, the .write
callback `uefi_vars_write` is invoked. The function allocates a
heap buffer without zeroing the memory, leaving the buffer filled with
residual data from prior allocations. When the guest later reads from
register UEFI_VARS_REG_PIO_BUFFER_TRANSFER, the .read callback
`uefi_vars_read` returns leftover metadata or other sensitive process
memory from the previously allocated buffer, leading to an information
disclosure vulnerability.
Fixes: CVE-2025-8860
