The Go frontend code that lowers field references could sometimes
introduce a double pointer indirection in cases where it is not/safe
appropriate.  For example, in

        var p **struct { f int }
        p.f = 0

the assignment LHS was being incorrectly lowered to (*(*p)).f.  This
patch by Than McIntosh detects this situation and issues an error
message.

This fixes https://golang.org/issue/21770.  A test will be committed
to the master testsuite in https://golang.org/cl/62331.

Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed
to mainline.
