gvariant: Zero-initialise GVariantBuilder children under static analysis

Browse Source 
scan-build can’t link the types used in `g_variant_builder_init()` with
the (same) types used in `g_variant_builder_end()`, so ends up assuming
that the children have not been initialised.

At runtime, this is prevented by the precondition checks on
`GVSB()->offset` in `g_variant_builder_end()`. scan-build doesn’t notice
that though.

Avoid a scan-build warning by zero-initialising the children array when
running static analysis. Doing this unconditionally would be an
unnecessary performance hit.
