Fix size passed to bzero

GCC 4.8 warns (for Debian package, so line numbers may be off from
mainline, sorry):

../sshconnect2.c: In function 'pubkey_prepare':
../sshconnect2.c:1527:20: warning: argument to 'sizeof' in 'bzero' call
is the same expression as the destination; did you mean to dereference
it? [-Wsizeof-pointer-memaccess]
    bzero(id, sizeof(id));

It's correct; this code only zeroes the first sizeof(pointer) bytes of
the Identity structure, rather than the whole thing.  Patch attached.
