Ian Lance Taylor	867b003fd7	runtime: skip zero-sized fields in structs when converting to FFI ... The libffi library doesn't understand zero-sized objects. When we see a zero-sized field in a struct, just skip it when converting to the FFI data structures. There is no value to pass in any case, so not telling libffi about the field doesn't affect anything. The test case for this is https://golang.org/cl/123316.

Ian Lance Taylor	5302cd0250	runtime, reflect: rewrite Go to FFI type conversion in Go ... As we move toward the Go 1.7 garbage collector, it's essential that all allocation of values that can contain Go pointers be done using the correct type descriptor. That is simplest if we do all such allocation in Go code. This rewrites the code that converts from a Go type to a libffi CIF into Go.
