Re: [testsuite, ada, build] Allow for further differences in type output in run_acats

I'm far from a DejaGnu expert (hardly anyone is, it seems, but perhaps
Janis will return soon to fill the void :-), but plan to look at a
couple of issues anyway, and the hard lifting has already been done with
the gnat.dg testsuite.

Indeed, and I plan to look into doing this once from make instead of
several times for each parallel check-acats sub-run.  It seems like a
total waste of time to do this more than once per multilib.

While this could be done with dg-* directives, I'm currently relucatant
to change the ACATS sources at all, so I'll probably stay with the *.lst
files for that purpose.
