Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none

This patch to libgo rewrites the code that converts from a Go type to
a libffi type in Go.  As we move toward the Go 1.7 garbage collector,
it's essential that all allocation of values that can contain Go
pointers be done using the correct type descriptor.  That is simplest
if we do all such allocation in Go code.  Bootstrapped and ran Go
testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.

Ian
