Notably, _Ctype_union_U was declared as a defined type, but uses were
being rewritten into uses of the underlying type, which matched how
_Cfunc_f was declared.
After CL 230037, cgo started consistently rewriting "C.foo" type
expressions as "_Ctype_foo", which caused it to start emitting:
type _Ctype_enum_E uint32
type _Ctype_union_U [8]byte
Of course, this fails to type-check because _Ctype_enum_E and
_Ctype_union_U are defined types.
This CL changes cgo to emit:
type _Ctype_enum_E = uint32
type _Ctype_union_U = [8]byte
// f unchanged since CL 230037
// _Cfunc_f still unchanged
It would probably be better to fix this in (*typeConv).loadType so
that cgo generated code uses the _Ctype_foo aliases too. But as it
wouldn't have any effect on actual compilation, it's not worth the
risk of touching it at this point in the release cycle.
Updates #39537.
Fixes #40494.
