Subject: [PATCH] gamepad: Fix potential stack data leak in shared memory

This CL fixes a potential information leak where browser-process stack
data could be copied into shared memory accessible by the renderer.

1. Moved PadState constructor/destructor to the header as implicit
   defaults. This ensures that the constructor is not user-provided
   and is therefore value-initializable, so that structural padding is
   zeroed when initialized as PadState().
2. Explicitly value-initialized Gamepads buffers in
   GamepadProvider::DoPoll to ensure structural padding is zeroed.

Fixed: 501747804
