Go patch committed: Fix bug comparing struct/array to interface

The Go frontend had a bug comparing a struct or array value to an
interface value when the struct or array was not addressable.  The code
that was supposed to force the struct/array into a temporary variable
did not fire, because the compiler erroneously tried to handle it as a
straight struct/array comparison.  This patch fixes the problem.
Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Committed to mainline and 4.9 branch.

The test case has been committed to the master testsuite; see
https://codereview.appspot.com/135170043 .  This fixes
http://golang.org/issue/8612 .
