genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts

A large portion of interrupt count entries are zero. There is no point in
formatting the zero value as it is way cheeper to just emit a constant
string.

Collect the number of consecutive zero counts and emit them in one go
before a non-zero count and at the end of the line.
