gccgo patch committed: Permit conversion from any uintptr type to unsafe.Pointer

[Ian Lance Taylor]

The Go language permits converting any type whose underlying type is
uintptr to unsafe.Pointer.  The Go frontend did not implement this
correctly.  This is http://golang.org/issue/10284.  This patch from
Minux fixes the problem.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.

A test case is being added to the main Go repository
(http://golang.org/cl/8240) and will be copied into the gccgo
testsuite in due course.
