OK, well I've started it off with Target::typesize, ::typealign,
::fieldalign.  Maybe also ::fieldoffset, though gdc currently uses the D
frontend code to get that that with no known issues (only way to find out
is when we start expanding D2 to more targets).

And left it with the comment:  This file contains a data structure that
describes a back-end target. At present it is incomplete, but in future it
should grow to contain most or all target machine and target O/S specific
information.
