This patch adds to the GNU Objective-C runtime the functions that will be required 
to implement synthesized Objective-C 2.0 property setters/getters.

There is one non-obvious thing I did - I added  objc_getPropertyStruct() 
and objc_setPropertyStruct().  The Apple runtime has the function objc_copyStruct() 
that requires two locks due to a mix-up in the design; for the GNU Objective-C runtime 
I added objc_copyStruct() but I also added two new functions, objc_getPropertyStruct() 
and objc_setPropertyStruct(), which only require one lock each, and I plan to have GCC 
use these (instead of objc_copyStruct()) when generating code for the GNU runtime. :-)

(My main concern with these new functions is the naming, to make sure they won't clash
with anything else that may be added by Apple in the future.  Suggestions for better names 
are welcome.)

All the functions in this patch are currently unused; the GCC compiler code that synthesizes 
the property setters/getters is still missing.  We may want/need to change or fix the functions as
we write the code.  Hopefully we'll manage to write that code in the next couple of days 
before the GCC stage 1 gates close. :-)

Committed to trunk.

Thanks
