Rollup merge of #102811 - the8472:bufread-memset, r=m-ou-se

Use memset to initialize readbuf

The write loop was found to be slow in #102727

The proper fix is in #102760 but this might still help debug builds and code running under miri by using the write_bytes intrinsic instead of writing one byte at a time.
