Based on the reading of the source (I cannot run gengtype here): first
the structs are created and put to the 'structures' list. This should
be done by find_structure or similar. Then, iff GTY param option is
encountered, a new struct type variable is created with kind =
TYPE_PARAM_STRUCT and stru = already existing struct and that is put
to 'param_structs'. Look at find_param_struct and its callers.
