FutureWarning from zarr.open
The following code snippet will raise a FutureWarning:
```python
import numpy
import zarr                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
group = zarr.open()                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
group.create('foo', dtype=[('a', int), ('b', int)], fill_value=numpy.zeros((), dtype=[('a', int), ('b', int)])[()], shape=(10, 10))                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
```

#### Problem description

The current behavior raises a FutureWarning:
```python
zarr/util.py:238: FutureWarning: elementwise == comparison failed and returning scalar instead; this will raise an error or perform elementwise comparison in the future.
  elif fill_value == 0:
```
This happens because of the comparison of the utterable dtype to 0 (in line 258) above. I'm not sure if this error is a false positive from numpy or something that will actually break in a future numpy version.

#### Version and installation information

Please provide the following:

* Value of ``zarr.__version__``: '2.3.2'
* Value of ``numcodecs.__version__``: '0.6.4'
* Version of Python interpreter: 3.7.6
