Issue:
ast.Assign need type_comment in Python3.8
In python3.8.5，I use gast to modify ast_node then convert back into ast by`gast_to_ast`. But the result is different with original `ast`.

It works in Python3.5 and Python2.7

The example code:

```python
import ast
import gast
import textwrap
import unittest

def code_gast_ast(source):
    """
    Transform source_code into gast.Node and modify it,
    then back to ast.Node.
    """
    source = textwrap.dedent(source)
    root = gast.parse(source)
    new_root = GastNodeTransformer(root).apply()
    ast_root = gast.gast_to_ast(new_root)
    return ast.dump(ast_root)


def code_ast(source):
    """
    Transform source_code into ast.Node, then dump it.
    """
    source = textwrap.dedent(source)
    root = ast.parse(source)
    return ast.dump(root)


class GastNodeTransformer(gast.NodeTransformer):
    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root

    def apply(self):
        return self.generic_visit(self.root)

    def visit_Name(self, node):
        """
        Param in func is ast.Name in PY2, but ast.arg in PY3.
        It will be generally represented by gast.Name in gast.
        """
        if isinstance(node.ctx, gast.Param) and node.id != "self":
            node.id += '_new'

        return node

class TestPythonCompatibility(unittest.TestCase):
    def _check_compatibility(self, source, target):
        source_dump = code_gast_ast(source)
        target_dump = code_ast(target)
        self.assertEqual(source_dump, target_dump)

    def test_call(self):
        source = """
            y = foo(*arg)
        """
        target = """
            y = foo(*arg_new)
        """
        self._check_compatibility(source, target)

# source_dump  gast-> ast
# Module(body=[Assign(targets=[Name(id='y', ctx=Store())], value=Call(func=Name(id='foo', ctx=Load()), args=[Starred(value=Name(id='arg_new', ctx=Load()), ctx=Load())], keywords=[]))], type_ignores=[])

# target_dump ast
# Module(body=[Assign(targets=[Name(id='y', ctx=Store())], value=Call(func=Name(id='foo', ctx=Load()), args=[Starred(value=Name(id='arg_new', ctx=Load()), ctx=Load())], keywords=[]), type_comment=None)], type_ignores=[])
```

After I modified the defination in `gast.py`, it works in python3.8

from
```
('Assign', (('targets', 'value',),
                ('lineno', 'col_offset', 'end_lineno', 'end_col_offset',),
                (stmt,))),
```
into
```
('Assign', (('targets', 'value','type_comment'),
                ('lineno', 'col_offset', 'end_lineno', 'end_col_offset',),
                (stmt,))),
```
