This patch fixes another case in the Go frontend where a constant refers
to itself.  If we need the type of a constant while it is being lowered,
then we have an invalid recursive reference.  This patch detects that
case rather than crashing by trying to get the type of the initializer
which has not yet been lowered.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
