cmd/cgo: use type aliases for #define type macros

Cgo's initial design for handling "#define foo int*" involved
rewriting "C.foo" to "*_Ctype_int" everywhere. But now that we have
type aliases, we can declare "type _Ctype_foo = *_Ctype_int" once, and
then rewrite "C.foo" to just "_Ctype_foo".

This is important for go/types's UsesCgo mode, where go/types needs to
be able to figure out a type for each C.foo identifier using only the
information written into _cgo_gotypes.go.

Fixes #38649.
