[C PATCH] Fix up diagnostics (PR c/25801)

[Marek Polacek]

Here's a patch that tidies up diagnostics given when there's
an arithmetic on pointer to an incomplete type.  Firstly, we ought not
to say "unknown structure" when the type is not a structure; secondly,
we shouldn't report identical error twice.
(It might make sense to instead "increment/decrement of" just say
"arithmetic on", but I'm not changing that now.)

Regtested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, bootstrapped on
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?

I think the comment on this function should be updated to explain the 
interface contract when an incomplete (or function) type is passed (i.e. 
return size_one_node, caller is responsible for any diagnostics).

The test should I think also cover incomplete union types, and pointer 
subtraction for all the different cases of incomplete types, and the += 
and -= operators (i.e. cover invalid arithmetic on pointers to incomplete 
types more thoroughly, even if not actually affected by this patch).

Done.

Done.

Another change is that I used COMPLETE_TYPE_P instead of
COMPLETE_OR_VOID_TYPE_P, that would be a bug and before it didn't make
much sense: we checked VOID_TYPE before.

Tested x86_64-linux, ok now?
