reflect: implement StructOf
This change exposes a facility to create new struct types from a slice of
reflect.StructFields.
- reflect: first stab at implementing StructOf
- reflect: tests for StructOf
StructOf creates new struct types in the form of structTypeWithMethods
to accomodate the GC (especially the uncommonType.methods slice field.)
Creating struct types with embedded interfaces with unexported methods
is not supported yet and will panic.
Creating struct types with non-ASCII field names or types is not yet
supported (see #15064.)
