In a function argument, we handle a typedef for a pointer specially,
using the pointer type rather than the typedef, to permit the Go calls
to match the laxer type conversions permitted in C. We record the
typedef so that we use that type in the C code, in case it has a special
attribute. However, using the typedef is wrong when using a pointer to a
basic type, because the C code may sometimes use the typedef and
sometimes not, and using the typedef in all cases will cause incorrect
type errors on the Go side. Fortunately we only really need to use the
typedef when pointing to a struct/union/class, and in such a case
confusion is unlikely.
Fixes#17723.
