HID: Zero-initialize pointer members#19

I'm new to Arduino development, so I'm not sure if variable are zero-initialized by default. Regardless, it's often regarded good practice to explicitly zero-initialize pointers to reduce risk of treating uninitialized pointers as valid.

HID.h/HID.cpp is a part of Arduino Core. If you check the original you will find that it was half-cooked. They only supported USB HID reports but not the features. You may check this PR - submitted it long ago to the Arduino team but they did not merge it for some reason. |

I just submitted the relevant subset of this PR to ArduinoCore-avr in arduino/ArduinoCore-avr#571. Let's wait and see how it's received. |

Combine with moving of other member initialization from constructor in cpp-file to header.
