[C] Avoid aka types that just add tags

diag-aka-1.c tests that:

  struct T { int i; } T;
  void *a;
  T *t = a;

produces:

  request for implicit conversion from 'void *' to 'T *' {aka 'struct T *'} ...

But printing an aka for the tag seems a bit redundant when the tag name
is the same as the typedef name.  It's probably not going to be telling
the user anything they don't already know, and can be distracting if "T"
rather than "struct T" is the preferred choice for an exported interface.
This is even more true if the tag is anonymous; e.g.:

  struct { int i; } T;
  void *a;
  T *t = a;

gives:

  request for implicit conversion from 'void *' to 'T *' {aka 'struct <anonymous> *'}

Rather than just drop the test above, the patch instead tests for:

  struct T { int i; } *T;

where seeing the tag definitely helps.
