          Issue ID: 19085
           Summary: std.experimental.allocator.makeArray should work with
                    void

As the title says, for generic code to work nicely makeArray should work to
make a void[], currently you get

std/experimental/allocator/package.d(1494,11): Error: variable
`std.experimental.allocator.uninitializedFillDefault!void.uninitializedFillDefault.t`
variables cannot be of type void
std/experimental/allocator/package.d(1494,15): Error: void does not have a
default initializer
std/experimental/allocator/package.d(1580,71): Error: template instance
`std.experimental.allocator.uninitializedFillDefault!void` error instantiating
