This patch (by Joseph) allows "this" to be used in OpenACC directives,
following -- IIUC -- the behaviour of other compilers. The standard (as
of OpenACC 2.5) does not appear to have explicit language either
permitting or forbidding such usage.

Joseph's original commentary is in the bug report (ca. 2015,
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66053):

"This patch, for gomp-4_0-branch, adds support for C++ "this" in
OpenACC directives.  (This patch does not do anything to handle OpenMP
differently from OpenACC; that - bug 66053 - will need to be resolved
for mainline, either deciding these cases should be accepted for
OpenMP or making the parsing only accept them in OpenACC directives
and not OpenMP ones.)

"Apart from parsing, it's necessary to prevent the "cannot take the
address of 'this', which is an rvalue expression" error from appearing
when "this" is used in such contexts.  This patch duly adds a new
argument to cxx_mark_addressable (default false so callers don't all
need to change) to allow disabling that error, passing that argument
in all calls that seem relevant to OpenACC directives."

AFAICT though, this attached version of the patch does still forbid
"this" in OpenMP directives (apart from "declare simd"). I couldn't see
that there was any change to the OpenMP spec language in 4.5.

Tested with offloading to NVPTX and bootstrapped.

OK to apply?
