[Ada] Tagged "/=" operator in GNAT tree doesn't get fully resolved with -gnatc

When an inequality operator is used for a tagged type, the tree node for
the inequality prior to expansion (such as with -gnatc) reflects "/="
operator in Standard rather than being resolved to be a logical negation
of the tagged type's equality function. This is a problem for ASIS in
Corresponding_Equality_Operator. We now ensure that the rewriting of
a tagged inequality happens during analysis rather than being deferred
to expansion.

No simple test available.

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

	* sem_ch4.adb (Find_Equality_Types.Try_One_Interp): Exclude the
	predefined interpretation from consideration if it's for a "/="
	operator of a tagged type. This will allow Analyze_Equality_Op to
	rewrite the "/=" as a logical negation of a call to the appropriate
	dispatching equality function. This needs to be done during
	analysis rather than expansion for the benefit of ASIS, which
	otherwise gets the unresolved N_Op_Ne operator from Standard.
