[Ada] Box-initialized components of aggregates in allocators

Box-initialized components are replaced with calls to the corresponding
initialization procedures during resolution of the aggregate. This requires
that the type of the aggregate and that of all its components be frozen before 
resolution is completed. In addition, such an aggregate may be the designated
object of an access-to-constant object, and it can legally appear as an in-out
parameter in a call to the corresponding initialization procedure.

The following commands

      gnatmake -q -gnat05 main
      main

must yield:

    3.14150000000000E+00
    3.14150000000000E+00

with A;
with Text_IO; use Text_IO;

procedure Main is

   Instance_OK : A.T_Record_Access :=
     new A.T_Record'(My_Record => <>);

   Instance_KO : A.T_Record_Access_Constant :=
     new A.T_Record'(My_Record => <>);

begin
   Put_Line (Long_Float'Image (Instance_KO.My_Record.A_Value));
   Put_Line (Long_Float'Image (A.Local_Instance_OK.My_Record.A_Value));
end Main;
---
package A is

   type T_Inner_Record is record
      A_Value : Long_Float := 3.1415;
   end record;

   type T_Record is record
      My_Record  : T_Inner_Record;
   end record;

   type T_Record_Access_Constant is access constant T_Record;
   type T_Record_Access          is access          T_Record;

   Local_Instance_OK : T_Record_Access_Constant :=
     new T_Record'(My_Record => <>);
end A;

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

	* sem_aggr.adb (Resolve_Aggregate): If aggregate has box-initialized
	components, freeze type before resolution, to ensure that default
	initializations are present for all components.
	* sem_res.adb (Resolve_Actuals): the designated object of an
	accces-to-constant type is a legal actual in a call to an
	initialization procedure.
