Auto merge of #43488 - Florob:repeat-opt, r=arielb1

Optimize initialization of arrays using repeat expressions

This PR was inspired by [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6o8ok9/understanding_rust_performances_a_newbie_question/) on Reddit.
It tries to bring array initialization in the same ballpark as `Vec::from_elem()` for unoptimized builds.
For optimized builds this should relieve LLVM of having to figure out the construct we generate is in fact a `memset()`.

To that end this emits `llvm.memset()` when:
* the array is of integer type and all elements are zero (`Vec::from_elem()` also explicitly optimizes for this case)
* the array elements are byte sized

If the array is zero-sized initialization is omitted entirely.
