    xen/build: pass -fzero-init-padding-bits=all to gcc15
    
    See the respective bullet point in the Caveats section of
    https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/changes.html.
    
    While I'm unaware of us currently relying on the pre-gcc15 behavior,
    let's still play safe and retain what unknowingly we may have been
    relying upon.
    
    According to my observations, on x86 generated code changes
    - somewhere deep in modify_bars(), presumably from the struct map_data
      initializer in apply_map() (a new MOVQ),
    - in vpci_process_pending(), apparently again from the struct map_data
      initializer (and again a new MOVQ),
    - near the top of find_cpio_data(), presumably from the struct cpio_data
      initializer (a MOVW changing to a MOVQ).
