Russ Cox 0782ee3ad5 cmd/cgo: given typedef struct S T, make C.T and C.struct_S interchangeable
For incomplete struct S, C.T and C.struct_S were interchangeable in Go 1.2
and earlier, because all incomplete types were interchangeable
(even C.struct_S1 and C.struct_S2).

CL 76450043, which fixed issue 7409, made different incomplete types
different from Go's point of view, so that they were no longer completely
interchangeable.

However, imprecision about C.T and C.struct_S - really the same
underlying C type - is the one behavior enabled by the bug that
is most likely to be depended on by existing cgo code.
Explicitly allow it, to keep that code working.

Fixes #7786.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
