[PATCH v3 0/1] MR4414: server: Fully initialize pe mapping struct to avoid uninitialized memory when...

[Fabian Maurer (＠DarkShadow44)]

When running wineserver under valgrind there is a bunch of uninitialised bytes warnings when sending the req_get_mapping_info reply.
This warning can easily be reproduced by running `valgrind wineserver -f` and then `winecfg`.
Tested using self compiled wine.

Reason is the `pe_image_info_t` struct having bitfields:
```
unsigned char  contains_code : 1;
unsigned char  wine_builtin : 1;
unsigned char  wine_fakedll : 1;
```
The last 5 bits are never initialized. This MR fixes this by zeroing the entire struct before it is filled.

I hope "issues" like this are allowed to be fixed so valgrind has less false positives.

Valgrind message for reference:
