*.c *_init(): define in terms of corresponding *_INIT macro

Change the common patter in the codebase of duplicating the
initialization logic between an *_INIT macro and a
corresponding *_init() function to use the macro as the canonical
source of truth.

Now we no longer need to keep the function up-to-date with the macro
version. This implements a suggestion by Jeff King who found that
under -O2 [1] modern compilers will init new version in place without
the extra copy[1]. The performance of a single *_init() won't matter
in most cases, but even if it does we're going to be producing
efficient machine code to perform these operations.
