fixes #18896
fixes #20886

```nim
type
  PFile {.importc: "FILE*", header: "<stdio.h>".} = distinct pointer
    # import C's FILE* type; Nim will treat it as a new pointer type
```
This is an excerpt from the Nim manual. In the old Nim versions, it
produces a void pointer type instead of the `FILE*` type that should
have been generated. Because these C types tend to be opaque and adapt
to changes on different platforms. It might affect the portability of
Nim on various OS, i.e. `csource_v2` cannot build on the apline platform
because of `Time` relies on Nim types instead of the `time_t` type.

Nim Compiler

  • This directory contains the Nim compiler written in Nim.
  • Note that this code has been translated from a bootstrapping version written in Pascal.
  • So the code is not a poster child of good Nim code.

See Internals of the Nim Compiler for more information.
