Before we have been trying to cram three cases into a boolean return
value:
* cmdline had secrets, we burnt them -> true
* cmdline had no secrets, all good -> false
* cmdline has NULL string, WTF! emergency! -> false
This return value is only used by Python which wants to know whether to
go to the trouble of replacing the command line. If samba_cmdline_burn()
returns false, no action is taken.
If samba_cmdline_burn() burns a password and then hits a NULL, it would
be better not to do nothing. It would be better to crash. And that is
what Python will end up doing, by some talloc returning NULL triggering
a MemoryError.
What about the case like {"--foo", NULL, "-Ua%b"} where the secret comes
after the NULL? That will still be ignored by Python, as it is by all C
tools, but we are hoping that can't happen anyway.
