These (the ones using 0.0.0.0) should be abstracted using the keyword
"any" or "unspecified" or similar.

The second one is really a cludge. The 255.255.255.255 is a magic address
meaning "not specified, use the same as udp_incoming_address". This is
confusing to a lot of people and is better expressed using a keyword
rather than a magic address.

As I said before the "all" ACL should be changed to not be a src type acl,
but a hardcoded acl which is always true. It should not be possible to
change this from squid.conf imho.
