Rollup merge of rust-lang#40409 - mbrubeck:calloc, r=sfackler

Specialize Vec::from_elem to use calloc

Fixes rust-lang#38723.  This specializes the implementation for `u8` only, but it could be extended to other zeroable types if desired.

I haven't tested this extensively, but I did verify that it gives the expected performance boost for large `vec![0; n]` allocations with both alloc_system and jemalloc, on Linux.  (I have not tested or even built the Windows code.)
