Preliminary support for non-fragile ivars on GNU runtime

Clang Frontend
#1

This patch provides preliminary support for non-fragile instance variables on the GNU runtime. It currently requires a patches to GNU libobjc (and so is not enabled by default) which are currently being tested and reviewed by GNUstep before being pushed upstream.

This patch does not allow support for synthesized ivars, but does provide the infrastructure needed for supporting them.

Ooops - I had the versions the wrong way around in the old patch. Didn't notice until I tried testing it with the old runtime. This patch fixes that.
