```
C backend: fix memset for loop lowering

Previously, this code casted the array pointer to u8 pointer, but I
removed that in a different commit. This commit restores the cast, but
instead of hard-coding u8, it uses the destination element pointer,
since memset now supports arbitrary element types.

```
