[Ada] Secondary stack leak in "for X of ..." loops

This patch fixes a memory leak bug. In particular, in a loop of the form "for X
of ...", with a type that has the Iterable aspect specified, if the result of
the Element function is returned on the secondary stack (e.g. the result
subtype has caller-unknown size), then memory for the secondary stack could
leak.

	* exp_ch5.adb (Expand_Formal_Container_Element_Loop): Remove the code
	to analyze the Elmt_Decl, because it gets analyzed in the wrong scope.
	We need to analyze it as part of analyzing the block, so that if the
	call to Element that initializes Elmt_Decl returns on the secondary
	stack, the block will ss_mark/ss_release. This block is inside the
	loop; we don't want to leak memory until the loop exits.  The purpose
	of analyzing Elmt_Decl first was to catch the error of modifying it,
	which is illegal because it's a loop parameter. The above causes us to
	miss that error.  Therefore, we add a flag Is_Loop_Parameter, and set
	it on the Element entity, so we end up with an E_Variable node with the
	flag set.
	* einfo.ads, einfo.adb (Is_Loop_Parameter): New flag.
	* sem_ch5.adb (Diagnose_Non_Variable_Lhs): Give the "assignment to loop
	parameter not allowed" error if Is_Loop_Parameter.
	* sem_util.adb (Is_Variable): Return False if Is_Loop_Parameter, to
	trigger the call to Diagnose_Non_Variable_Lhs.
