This commit fixes pointers to type aliases which are currently not
supported.

The new test cases will fail with:

jsonapi: Can't unmarshal foo (string) to struct field `String`, which is a pointer to
 `StringType (string)`

One other method to fix this when you are able to modify your types is:

type StringType = string

This is the new (since Go 1.9) way to declare type aliasses which treats
the types differently when using reflect.
