Fix Option<String> pattern match double-dereference in C codegen

Browse Source 
LuxString is typedef char* but the codegen treated it as a struct type,
generating *(LuxString*)(field0) instead of (LuxString)(field0). This
caused a heap-buffer-overflow on any Option<String> pattern match since
it read the string contents as a memory address.
