Ian Lance Taylor a16954b8a7 cmd/cgo: always use a function literal for pointer checking
The pointer checking code needs to know the exact type of the parameter
expected by the C function, so that it can use a type assertion to
convert the empty interface returned by cgoCheckPointer to the correct
type. Previously this was done by using a type conversion, but that
meant that the code accepted arguments that were convertible to the
parameter type, rather than arguments that were assignable as in a
normal function call. In other words, some code that should not have
passed type checking was accepted.

This CL changes cgo to always use a function literal for pointer
checking. Now the argument is passed to the function literal, which has
the correct argument type, so type checking is performed just as for a
function call as it should be.

Since we now always use a function literal, simplify the checking code
to run as a statement by itself. It now no longer needs to return a
value, and we no longer need a type assertion.

This does have the cost of introducing another function call into any
call to a C function that requires pointer checking, but the cost of the
additional call should be minimal compared to the cost of pointer
checking.

Fixes #16591.
