fixes #25718
This pull request optimizes sequence allocation in the Nim standard
library by introducing a way to create uninitialized sequence payloads
for element types that don't require zero-initialization. The changes
allow for more efficient memory allocation when initializing sequences
with types that have no references, avoiding unnecessary zeroing of
memory.
Sequence allocation and initialization improvements:
* Added the `newSeqUninitRaw` procedure to create sequence payloads with
a specified length without forcing zero-initialization for element types
marked as `ntfNoRefs`. (`lib/system/sysstr.nim`,

* Modified the `extendCapacityRaw` procedure and the `setLengthSeqImpl`
template to use `newSeqUninitRaw` when zero-initialization is not
required, controlled by the `doInit` static parameter.
