> Use zeroinitializer for (trailing zero portion of) large array initializers

> Clang has two different ways it emits array constants (from InitListExprs and
> from APValues), and both had some ability to emit zeroinitializer, but neither
> was able to catch all cases where we could use zeroinitializer reliably. In
> particular, emitting from an APValue would fail to notice if all the explicit
> array elements happened to be zero. In addition, for large arrays where only an
> initial portion has an explicit initializer, we would emit the complete
> initializer (which could be huge) rather than emitting only the non-zero
> portion. With this change, when the element would have a suffix of more than 8
> zero elements, we emit the array constant as a packed struct of its initial
> portion followed by a zeroinitializer constant for the trailing zero portion.

> In passing, I found a bug where SemaInit would sometimes walk the entire array
> when checking an initializer that only covers the first few elements; that's
> fixed here to unblock testing of the rest.
