Go patch committed: treat notinheap types as not being pointers

[Ian Lance Taylor via Gcc-patches]

This patch to the Go frontend treats notinheap types as not being
pointers.  By definition, a type is marked noinheap doesn't contain
any pointers that the garbage collector cares about, and neither does
a pointer to such a type.  Change the type descriptors to consistently
treat such types as not being pointers, by setting ptrdata to 0 and
gcdata to nil.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
