std::make_unique for arrays is equivalent to doing:
std::unique_ptr<T>(new typename std::remove_extent<T>::type[size]())
(note the ending () after the array size specifier). This means that the
default value within memory for the constructed types will be whatever
the default constructor for that type does. Given the built-in
type for std::uint8_t doesn't have a constructor, this is equivalent to
forcing zero-initialization, so the memory will already be zeroed out on
construction. Because of that, there's no need to zero it out again.
