Go patch committed: Generalize cleanup of unresolved placeholders

[Ian Lance Taylor]

This patch to the Go frontend by Than McIntosh generalizes the cleanup
of unresolved placeholder pointer types.  This patch extends the work
in https://golang.org/cl/51131
(https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-07/msg01934.html) to include
placeholder pointer types created for Go function types, which can
also be left dangling/unresolved in some instances.  This fixes an
assert in the LLVM backend.  A test case can be found in
https://golang.org/cl/191743.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
