[release-branch.go1.15] cmd/cgo: use go:notinheap for anonymous structs

They can't reasonably be allocated on the heap. Not a huge deal, but
it has an interesting and useful side effect.

After CL 249917, the compiler and runtime treat pointers to
go:notinheap types as uintptrs instead of real pointers (no write
barrier, not processed during stack scanning, ...). That feature is
exactly what we want for cgo to fix #40954. All the cases we have of
pointers declared in C, but which might actually be filled with
non-pointer data, are of this form (JNI's jobject heirarch, Darwin's
CFType heirarchy, ...).

Fixes #40954
