Go patch committed: Handle aliases to pointer types with interfaces

[Ian Lance Taylor]

The Go frontend miscompiled some cases where a program defined an
alias to a pointer type, and then tried to convert that type to an
interface type, or build a method table for that type.  This patch
fixes those problems.  The test case is https://golang.org/cl/241997.
Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed
to mainline.
