cmd/compile: evaluate zero-sized values converted to interfaces

CL 35562 substituted zerobase for the pointer for
interfaces containing zero-sized values.
However, it failed to evaluate the zero-sized value
expression for side-effects. Fix that.

The other similar interface value optimizations
are not affected, because they all actually use the
value one way or another.

Fixes #19246
