On sctp_endpoint_destroy, previously used sensitive keying material

I'll ack this, but the whole multiple cookie keys code is completely unused and has been all this time. Noone uses anything other then the secret_key[0] since there is no changeover support anywhere. It might be nice to clean that up too.
Put on my todo list for follow-up patches, thanks.
