Set all elements of an array to a single value.

Takes into account postblits and destructors, for Plain Old Data elements,
`rt/memset.d` is used.

Params:
    p = pointer to start of array
    value = bytes of the element to set. Size is derived from `ti`.
    count = amount of array elements to set
    ti = type info of the array element type / `value`
Returns: `p`
