Add a config option STATIC_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO that will always allocate

"static" is a really odd naming choice for a dynamically allocated
structure. It's one that's never freed, sure, but it's still dynamically
allocated in the first place.

That is a fair point.

I like the rename you did to PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO instead of
STATIC_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO as we still allocate it dynamically.

@David, @Lorenzo and @Zi: Does the rename sound good to you?

Yes, sounds good.
