libgo patch committed: Delete from a nil map is now a no-op

The Go spec was changed slightly: calling delete on a nil map is now a
no-op, rather than causing a runtime panic.  This patch implements that
in gccgo.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
