Alex Brainman 4869ec00e8 syscall: introduce Pointer type and use it instead of uintptr
Some syscall structures used by crypto/x509 have uintptr
fields that store pointers. These pointers are set with
a pointer to another Go structure. But the pointers are
not visible by garbage collector, and GC does not update
the fields after they were set. So when structure with
invalid uintptr pointers passed to Windows, we get
memory corruption.

This CL introduces CertInfo, CertTrustListInfo and
CertRevocationCrlInfo types. It uses pointers to new types
instead of uintptr in CertContext, CertSimpleChain and
CertRevocationInfo.

CertRevocationInfo, CertChainPolicyPara and
CertChainPolicyStatus types have uintptr field that can
be pointer to many different things (according to Windows
API). So this CL introduces Pointer type to be used for
those cases.

As suggested by Austin Clements.

Fixes #21376
Updates #24820

Files in this directory are data for Go's API checker ("go tool api", in src/cmd/api).

Each file is a list of API features, one per line.

go1.txt (and similarly named files) are frozen once a version has been
shipped. Each file adds new lines but does not remove any.

except.txt lists features that may disappear without breaking true
compatibility.

next.txt is the only file intended to be mutated. It's a list of
features that may be added to the next version. It only affects
warning output from the go api tool.
