Log Message:
Numerous changes to ssss(1) and libssss(3):

+ don't use the threshold headers any more - just use our own
header

+ "ssss" is the only algorithm supported by ssss(1)

+ add back (seamless) file I/O functionality, in the case that a
memory mapping, or subsequent memory allocation, fails

+ don't store information in the ssss share header which could be used
as part of an attack (specifically the threshold and total number of
shares).

+ size the extra memory required on a much better estimate of the size
needed, rather than a constant size

+ get rid of unneeded files, now that everything has been cleaned up
