• [ ] This has been discussed in issue #..., or if not, please tell us why
  here.
  This has not been discussed yet. Discussion of why this feature was implemented is in https://github.com/m4b/faerie/issues/97.

• [x] A short description of what this does, why it is needed; if the
  description becomes long, the matter should probably be discussed in an issue
  first.
  This uses the new zero_init api for Faerie, which uses .bss sections to reduce the amount of space binaries take up in memory (while being generated) and on disk (when stored).

• [ ] This PR contains test cases, if meaningful.
  This PR does not contain new test cases. All existing test cases pass.

• [ ] A reviewer from the core maintainer team has been assigned for this PR.
