    libstdc++: Fix aliasing violation in std::shared_ptr [PR104019]
    
    The non-atomic store that sets both reference counts to zero uses a
    type-punned pointer, which has undefined behaviour. We could use memset
    to write 8 bytes, but we don't actually need it to be a single store
    anyway. No other thread can observe the values, that's why it's safe to
    use non-atomic stores in the first place. So we can just set each count
    to zero.
    
    With -fstore-merging (which is enabled by default at -O2) GCC produces
    the same code for this as for memset or the type punned store. Clang
    does that store merging even at -O1.

            Set members to zero without type punning.
