Dan Scales 04c7e32517 compress/flate: remove unneeded zeroing of bytes array in (*huffmanBitWriter).reset
There is no correctness reason to zero out the w.bytes array in (w
*huffmanBitWriter).reset, since w.nbytes is correctly set to zero. The elements of
the bytes array are always written sequentially, with nbytes indicating how many
elements have been written, and are only read up to the current value of nybytes.

We have a pprof profile of a web server that compresses its request/responses, and
the zeroing in reset() is taking up 2.6% of the CPU time of the server (and could
be causing more slowdowns elsewhere due to its effects on the cache). This
overhead may be showing up especially because there are many request/responses
that are all fairly small.

I'm not sure if the zeroing of the bytes array was intended as extra protection of
data across reset uses in the same program, but no protection is needed as long as
the huffman_bit_writer code remains correct.
