[Ada] Redundant elaboration checks

In some rare cases, a call that appears within a local subprogram body may
generate elaboration checks twice. This patch ensures that only one elaboration
check is generated for any subprogram call. In addition to an efficiency issue,
this also prevents code insertions that are are left unanalyzed in the tree,
and subsequent back-end crashes.
No simple example available.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

	* sem_elab.adb (Check_A_Call): After inserting elaboration check, set
	proper flag to prevent a double elaboration check on the same call.
	* exp_util.adb (Insert_Actions): If the enclosing node is an
	Expression_With_Actions and it has been analyzed already, find
	insertion point further up in the tree.
