This patch to the Go frontend checks for a notinheap struct at each
struct field. When generating write barriers, we were only checking
for a notinheap struct at the outermost struct. That mishandled the
case of setting a pointer to a notinheap struct as a field of another
struct that not notinheap. This caused an invalid write barrier error
when building the 1.13 version of the runtime. Bootstrapped and ran
Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
