Use zeroinit API for faerie and object (#1209)

* use new zeroinit API for faerie

* use bss for cranelift-object

* don't crash when initializing bss

* fix formatting

* Improve code locality

Co-Authored-By: Philip Craig <philipjcraig@gmail.com>

* use `as` instead of try_into() for usize -> u64

* don't allocate unnecessarily in `faerie`
