The default initial value (0) is not a valid value in no-naked-pointers mode, causing a segfault if a GC is triggered while reading the global data from a bytecode executable. Repro case: ``` let _ = " " (* 10 million spaces *) ``` Fixes: ocaml#11768

In 4.14, the default initial value (0) is not a valid value in no-naked-pointers mode, causing a segfault if a GC is triggered while reading the global data from a bytecode executable. See #11768 for a repro case.
In 5.0,
caml_global_datais correctly initialized toVal_unitalready.Fixes: #11768
