[Ada] Overload resolution of intrinsic operators

This patch fixes a bug where the compiler would give an incorrect error message
when an intrinsic operator is called with operands of private type, but with a
result of a non-private type.
The following test should compile quietly.
package Test_Intrinsics is

  type T is private;

  X : constant T;

  function "*" (X, Y : T) return Float;

private

  type T is new Float;

  X : constant T := 0.0;

  pragma Import (Intrinsic, "*");

end Test_Intrinsics;


with Test_Intrinsics; use Test_Intrinsics;
procedure Test_Intrinsics_Main is

  Y : Float := X * X;

begin
   null;
end Test_Intrinsics_Main;

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

	* sem_res.adb (Resolve_Intrinsic_Operator): Use unchecked
	conversions instead of normal type conversions in all cases where a
	type conversion would be illegal. In particular, use unchecked
	conversions when the operand types are private.
