I wondered why grokdeclarator was handling the case of adding a
ptr-operator to a METHOD_TYPE, since there's no way in C++ to name a
METHOD_TYPE directly. So I asserted that it can't happen, and nothing
broke.
Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, applying to trunk.

* decl.c (grokdeclarator): Assert that we won't see a pointer to
METHOD_TYPE.
