Unlike other string functions in this library, ZeroMem () does not
return early when the length of the input buffer is 0. So add the
same to ZeroMem () as well.

1. Why is this necessary?

2. After the new check, Length is guaranteed to be positive. The first
ASSERT() should be updated (simplified), I think:

  ASSERT (Buffer != NULL);

Thanks

Is it worth modifying the assert after to no longer check length being garter than 0?

The 32-bit accelerated ARM code writes at least one byte, and given
that the other string functions take the same shortcut, this seemed
the most appropriate way to fix that.

Good point. I will change that

Does that conform to the InternalMemZeroMem() contract?

I don't disagree, but then the commit message should explain this -- the
circumstances where the missing shortcut actually caused a problem.
