Generating keypair leaks memory

See original GitHub issue

It’s possible that nacl.box.keyPair() leaks memory every time it’s called. In KeePassXC-Browser that functions is called repeatedly in a reconnect situation.

@CMEONE You’re correct. I made an example extension and it doesn’t have the memory leak. So this is definitely a KeePassXC-Browser issue. Something is done in a way that the GC doesn’t trigger. Sorry for the inconvenience. Closing the issue.

I tried my example with a “global” variable, but that didn’t reproduce the issue. Thanks for the tips.
