This patch improves the error recovery for cases in which the keywords
PRIVATE, ABSTRACT, TAGGED are not in the required order, as shown by
this test (previously the diagnostic was missing semicolon with errors
cascaded after this message).

     1. package keyorder is
     2.    type FP is private tagged;
                              |
        >>> "tagged" must come before "private"

     3.    type RP is private abstract tagged;
                              |
        >>> "abstract tagged" must come before "private"

     4.    type RA is private abstract;
                              |
        >>> "abstract tagged" must come before "private"

     5.
     6.    generic
     7.       type OK is abstract tagged private;
     8.       type FT is private tagged;
                                 |
        >>> "tagged" must come before "private"

     9.       type FP is private abstract tagged;
                                 |
        >>> "abstract tagged" must come before "private"

    10.       type RA is private abstract;
                                 |
        >>> "abstract tagged" must come before "private"

    11.    package PP is end;
    12. end;
