If a variable has an initializer, codegen tries to build its value. If
the variable is large in size, building its value requires substantial
resources. It causes strange behavior from user viewpoint: compilation
of huge zero initialized arrays like:
char data_1[2147483648u] = { 0 };
consumes enormous amount of time and memory.
With this change codegen tries to determine if variable initializer is
equivalent to zero initializer. In this case variable value is not
constructed.
This change fixes PR18978.

This patch fixes clang to not consider braced initializers for
aggregate elements of arrays to be potentially dependent on the
indices of the initialized elements. Resolves bug 18978:
initialize a large static array = clang oom?
