Add a distinct OperandValue::ZeroSized variant for ZSTs

These tend to have special handling in a bunch of places anyway, so the variant helps remember that.  And I think it's easier to grok than non-Scalar Aggregates sometimes being `Immediates` (like I got wrong and caused 109992).  As a minor bonus, it means we don't need to generate poison LLVM values for them to pass around in `OperandValue::Immediate`s.
