Since commit
11470e70ea0d ("gdb: store internalvars in an std::map"), bulding
with -O2, with g++ 11.3.0 on Ubuntu 22.04, I see:
CXX value.o

This is because the union field internalvar::u is not initialized when
constructing the temporary internalvar object above. That object is then used
for move-construction, and the (implicit) move constructor copies the
uninitialized bytes of field u over from the temporary object to the new
internalvar object. The compiler therefore complains that we use uninitialized
bytes. I don't think it's really a problem, because the internalvar object is
in the `kind == INTERNALVAR_VOID` state, in which the contents of the union is
irrelevant. Still, mute the warning by default-initializing the union.
