Because this is overload resolution logic, so we shouldn't care about what warnings we will emit :)

This is how we act prior to applying this patch:

```
void f(int) __attribute__((overloadable));
void f(double) __attribute__((overloadable, enable_if(0, "")));

void *fp = f; // OK. This is C and the target is void*.
void (*fp)(void) = f; // Error. This is C, but the target isn't void*.
```

I'm simply removing the "the target must be a `void*`" restriction; the user should still get warnings in the latter case (the tests changed in test/Sema/pass-object-size.c make sure of this).
