[PATCH v5 11/15] rust: init: add `Zeroable` trait and `init::zeroed` function

From: Benno Lossin
Date: Mon Apr 03 2023 - 12:05:59 EST


Add the `Zeroable` trait which marks types that can be initialized by
writing `0x00` to every byte of the type. Also add the `init::zeroed`
function that creates an initializer for a `Zeroable` type that writes
`0x00` to every byte.
