Before, we would initialize many fields twice: first
by filling the structure with zeros, and then a second
time with the real values. We can let the compiler do
the job for us, avoiding one copy.

A downside of this patch is that text gets slightly
bigger. This is because all zero() calls are effectively
inlined:

$ size build/.libs/systemd
         text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
before 897737  107300    2560 1007597   f5fed build/.libs/systemd
after  897873  107300    2560 1007733   f6075 build/.libs/systemd

… actually less than 1‰.

A few asserts that the parameter is not null had to be removed. I
don't think this changes much, because first, it is quite unlikely
for the assert to fail, and second, an immediate SEGV is almost as
good as an assert.
