cgo: implement C unions

Unions are somewhat hard to implement in Go because they are not a
native type. But it is actually possible with some compiler magic.

This commit inserts a special "C union" field at the start of a struct
to indicate that it is a union. As such a field cannot be written
directly in Go, this is a useful to distinguish structs and unions.
