src: zero-initialize data that are copied into the snapshot

To prevent padding from making the snapshot unreproducible,
zero-initialize the data that are copied into the snapshot
so that the padding copied are all zeros. This is better
than enlarging the enums to align the fields since it doesn't
make the snapshot bigger than necessary, and it removes the
need of using static assertions to ensure alignment.
