[Ada] Interface operations that are renamings

If the parent subprogram in a type derivation is an explicit renaming of an
interface primitive, it is a regular primitive operation, and the presence of
its alias is not relevant: it has to be derived like any other primitive.

The following must compile quietly:
    gcc -c -gnat05 p2.ads
---
package P1 is
   type I1 is limited interface;
   procedure P (Self : not null access I1) is abstract;
   procedure H (Self : not null access I1) renames P;
end P1;
---
with P1;
package P2 is
   type T1 is limited new P1.I1 with private;
private
   type T1 is limited new P1.I1 with null record;
   overriding procedure P (Self : not null access T1) is null;
   overriding procedure H (Self : not null access T1) is null;
end P2;

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

	* sem_ch3.adb (Derive_Subprograms): An interface primitive operation
	that is a renaming must be derived like any other primitive operation,
	the renamed operation is not relevant to the derivation.
