Split out from #23929. No reason to have lots of different zero-valued readonly symbols when we can re-use runtime.zeroVal.

Is this for performance, or to reduce binary size? Or perhaps both?
Sorry, something went wrong.
Likely both.
Performance: lower cache impact of reading zero values.
Binary size: fewer symbols.
Toolspeed: less to link.
I’d expect very minor improvements on all three.

cmd/compile: optimize comparisons with zero values
This was my first serious foray into the front-end. I wanted to take this opportunity and thank @martisch for guiding me on this, and his patience for bearing with my questions while stumbling around the front-end code. Thanks Martin !
