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?
