Avoid copying some undef memory in MIR
During MIR interpretation it may happen that a place containing
uninitialized bytes is copied. This would read the current
representation of these bytes and write it to the destination even
though they must, by definition, not matter to the execution.

This elides that representation change when no bytes are defined in such
a copy, saving some cpu cycles. In such a case, the memory of the target
allocation is not touched at all which also means that sometimes no
physical page backing the memory allocation of the representation needs
to be provided by the OS at all, reducing memory pressure on the system.
