In the Go frontend, when finalizing the methods of a named struct
type, we used to finalize all the field types first.  That can fail if
the field types refer indirectly to the named type.  Change it to just
finalize the embedded field types first, and the rest of the fields
later.  This fixes https://golang.org/issue/21253.  Bootstrapped and
ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline and
GCC 7 branch.
