reflect, encoding/json, encoding/xml: fix unexported embedded structs
Bring in three changes from the master Go repository. These changes
will be in Go 1.6, but they are appropriate for gccgo now because they
resolve a long-standing discrepancy between how gc and gccgo handle the
PkgPath field for embedded unexported struct fields. The core issue is
described at https://golang.org/cl/7247. This has been reported against
gccgo as https://gcc.gnu.org/PR66138.
The three changes being brought over are:
