    libxl: Introduce FILLZERO
    
    FILLZERO is a macro for memset(&foo,0,sizeof(foo)).  It eliminates the
    possiblity to make the error memset(&foo,0,sizeof(&foo)).
    
    No callers yet, but document it in CODING_STYLE.  (In accordance with
    existing libxl policy, I haven't gone through all existing possible
    call sites.)
