reflect: add support for linked lists

Linked lists are usually implemented as follows:

    type linkedList struct {
        next *linkedList
        data int // whatever
    }

This caused a stack overflow while writing out the reflect run-time type
information. This has now been fixed by splitting the allocation of a
named type number from setting the underlying type in the sidetable.
