[profile] Avoid allocating a page on the stack, NFC
When writing out a profile, avoid allocating a page on the stack for the purpose of writing out zeroes, as some embedded environments do not have enough stack space to accomodate this. Instead, use a small, fixed-size zero buffer that can be written repeatedly. For a synthetic file with >100,000 functions, I did not measure a significant difference in profile write times. We are removing a page-length zero-fill `memset()` in favor of several smaller buffered `fwrite()` calls: in practice, I am not sure there is much of a difference. The performance impact is only expected to affect the continuous sync mode (%c) -- zero padding is less than 8 bytes in all other cases. rdar://57810014 Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D71323
