Black isn't always just memset(ptr, 0, size). Limited YUV in particular
requires relatively non-obvious values, and filling a frame with
repeating 0 bytes is disallowed in some contexts. With component sizes
larger than 8 or packed YUV, this can become relatively complicated. So
having a generic function for this seems helpful.
In order to handle the complex cases in a generic way without destroying
performance, this code attempts to compute a black pixel, and then uses
that value to clear the image data quickly by using a function like
memset.
Common cases like yuv410p10 or rgba can't be handled with a simple
memset, so there is some code to fill memory with 2/4/8 byte patterns.
For the remaining cases, a generic slow fallback is used.
