An allocator that nothing has Init'd yet is a real state, not a broken one -
sceVideocodec keeps one for Media Engine memory that stays empty until a game
plays a video - but DoState asserted on bottom_ when writing, and on reading
treated a block count of zero as corrupt. Both ends handle it now, and the
write loop no longer special-cases the first block.
The stream layout is unchanged, so states written before this still load: they
always had at least one block, and take the same path they always did.
