test-tool genzeros: generate large amounts of data more efficiently
In this developer's tests, producing one gigabyte worth of NULs in a
busy loop that writes out individual bytes, unbuffered, took ~27sec.
Writing chunked 256kB buffers instead only took ~0.6sec
This matters because we are about to introduce a pair of test cases that
want to be able to produce 5GB of NULs, and we cannot use `/dev/zero`
because of the HP NonStop platform's lack of support for that device.
