last-modified: fix use of uninitialized memory
git-last-modified(1) uses a scratch bitmap to keep track of paths that have been changed between commits. To avoid reallocating a bitmap on each call of process_parent(), the scratch bitmap is kept and reused. Although, it seems an incorrect length is passed to memset(3). `struct bitmap` uses `eword_t` to for internal storage. This type is typedef'd to uint64_t. To fully zero the memory used by the bitmap, multiply the length (saved in `struct bitmap::word_alloc`) by the size of `eword_t`.
