cmd/compile: do not flag reflect.StructOf() as a ReflectMethod.

Browse Source 
StructOf() calls reflect.Type.Method(), but looks up only methods
accessible via interfaces. DCE does not remove such methods, so
there is no need to disable the DCE if StructOf() is used.

There is a dependency chain between struct rtype and StructOf():

  (*rtype).Method() -> FuncOf() -> initFuncTypes() -> StructOf().

Thus, any use of (*rtype).Method() or (*rtype).MethodByName()
disables the DCE in the linker. This is not an issue just yet
because all users of Method() and MethodByName() are flagged
as ReflectMethods. A subsequent patch avoids this flag on callers
of MethodByName(string literal). When that patch is applied,
it becomes important to have no ReflectMethods down the call
chain of MethodByName().
