Fix use of COMPLETE_TYPE_P for -Wstrict-aliasing=1

The handling of -Wstrict-aliasing=1 applied COMPLETE_TYPE_P to the
pointer type rather than the pointer target, so missed the warnings
for "struct incomplete" in the testcase.

I couldn't find any existing C tests for -Wstrict-aliasing=1,
so I added a few extra tests besides the ones fixed by the patch.
I'm sure there's lots more we could test -- this is just supposed
to be better than the status quo (i.e. nothing).

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu.  Not sure this is a regression in any
meaningful sense, so I guess it should wait for GCC 10.  OK for stage 1?

gcc/c-family/
	* c-warn.c (strict_aliasing_warning): Apply COMPLETE_TYPE_P to
	the pointer target rather than the pointer itself.

gcc/testsuite/
	* gcc.dg/alias-16.c: New test.
