cmd/compile, runtime: stop returning t.zero on hashmap miss

Previously t.zero always pointed to runtime.zerovalue. Change the hashmap code
to always return a runtime pointer directly, and change that pointer to point
to a larger buffer if one is needed.

(It might be better to only copy from the pointer returned by the mapaccess
functions when the value type is small enough and have the compiler insert
explicit zeroing for larger value types, but I tried and failed to do this).

This removes all uses of the zero field of the type data; the field itself can
be removed in a separate change.

Fixes #11491
