Patch

Here is one approach which fixes the test case.  This introduces a new tree
code, ALIASING_CONVERT_EXPR.  It is conveyed into RTL via a flag on REGS:
REG_ALIAS_ALL.   I didn't try to really union the alias sets, I just said that
the result of placement new can alias anything.  This patch is essentially
untested.

I'm not very happy with this approach because it doesn't fail safe: it's too
easy to lose the special aliasing, and then the problem appears again, but only
with a more complicated test case.  A safer approach might be to change the
type returned by placement new and mark it as TYPE_REF_CAN_ALIAS_ALL, but then
I'm worried about type conversion and type comparison problems, since it isn't
actually a different type.
