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?

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.
