Fix for PR objc/47078 ("[4.6 Regression] ICE on invalid type")


This patch fixes objc/47078.  The (invalid) ObjC code that crashes the 4.6 
compiler (but not older compilers) is

@implementation MyClass
- (x) method
{
   return 0;
}
@end

The problem is the 'x', the invalid type name.  The new code in 4.6 which detects 
invalid typenames [and produces nice error messages :-)] was passing 
error_mark_node to the ObjC frontend, which wasn't prepared to deal with it and 
it all crashed later.

The fix simply changes the parsing of ObjC methods to detect when error_mark_node is produced due to an invalid type name, and replace it with NULL_TREE, which is 
what is produced when no type is specified.  The ObjC frontend then uses the 
default (id) for unspecified types, which is also the best guess when trying to 
do error recovery.

As I added the testcase for ObjC, I noticed the testcase also crashed ObjC++ in 
exactly the same way, and I added the same testcase and fix for ObjC++.  I'm not 
sure the ObjC++ one is a regression, but it's a trivial fix and matches exactly the ObjC fix (which *is* a regression) and I'm trying to keep ObjC and ObjC++
in sync so, unless Mike disagrees, I think the ObjC++ fix should go in too in the 
same patch.

Bootstrapped and tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu (apologies for the last patch before holidays, which failed bootstrap, this one doesn't).

Ok to commit ?

Thanks
