We don't distribute a miri build for beta/stable so it needs to be kept
optional. In the future it likely makes sense to switch the miri
*artifacts* to always be built, but the rustup component to not be
included -- this will avoid some of this pain.

Use zero for initialized Once state

By re-labeling which integer represents which internal state for `Once` we can ensure that the initialized state is the all-zero state. This is beneficial because some CPU architectures (such as Arm) have specialized instructions to specifically branch on non-zero, and checking for the initialized state is by far the most important operation.

As an example, take this:

```rust
use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU32, Ordering};

const INIT: u32 = 3;

#[inline(never)]
#[cold]
pub fn slow(state: &AtomicU32) {
    state.store(INIT, Ordering::Release);
}

pub fn ensure_init(state: &AtomicU32) {
    if state.load(Ordering::Acquire) != INIT {
        slow(state)
    }
}
```

If `INIT` is 3 (as is currently the state for `Once`), we see the following assembly on `aarch64-apple-darwin`:

```asm
example::ensure_init::h332061368366e313:
        ldapr   w8, [x0]
        cmp     w8, #3
        b.ne    LBB1_2
        ret
LBB1_2:
        b       example::slow::ha042bd6a4f33724e
```

By changing the `INIT` state to zero we get the following:

```asm
example::ensure_init::h332061368366e313:
        ldapr   w8, [x0]
        cbnz    w8, LBB1_2
        ret
LBB1_2:
        b       example::slow::ha042bd6a4f33724e
```

So this PR saves 1 instruction every time a `LazyLock` gets accessed on platforms such as these.
