malloc: Optimize small memory clearing for calloc

Add calloc-clear-memory.h to clear memory size up to 36 bytes (72 bytes
on 64-bit targets) for calloc.  Use repeated stores with 1 branch, instead
of up to 3 branches.  On x86-64, it is faster than memset since calling
memset needs 1 indirect branch, 1 broadcast, and up to 4 branches.
