cmd/cgo: don't translate bitfields into Go fields

The cgo tool would sometimes emit a bitfield at an offset that did not
correspond to the C offset, such as for the example in the new test.

+  The <a href="/cmd/cgo">cgo</a> tool will no longer try to translate
+  C struct bitfields into Go struct fields, even if their size can be
+  represented in Go. The order in which C bitfields appear in memory
+  is implementation dependent, so in some cases the cgo tool produced
