[`slow_vector_initialization`]: clarify why `Vec::new()` + resize is worse

rust-lang#11198 extended this lint to also warn on `Vec::new()` + `resize(0, len)`, but did not update the lint documentation, so it left some confused (rust-lang/rust-clippy#10938 (comment)).
This PR should make it a bit more clear. (cc `@djc` `@vi` what do you think about this?)

<details>
<summary>More details</summary>

Godbolt for `Vec::new()` + `.resize(x, 0)`: https://godbolt.org/z/e7q9xc9rG

The resize call first does a normal allocation (`__rust_alloc`):
```asm
alloc::raw_vec::finish_grow:
  ...
  cmp     qword ptr [rcx + 8], 0
  je      .LBB1_7  ; if capacity == 0 -> LBB1_7

.LBB1_7:
  ...
  call    qword ptr [rip + __rust_alloc@GOTPCREL]
```

*Then* a memset for zero initialization:
```asm
example::f:
  ...
  xor     esi, esi  ; 0
  call    qword ptr [rip + memset@GOTPCREL]
```
------------

Godbolt for `vec![0; len]`: https://godbolt.org/z/M3vr53vWY

Important bit:
```asm
example::f:
  ...
  call    qword ptr [rip + __rust_alloc_zeroed@GOTPCREL]
```

</details>
