[Ada] Spurious error on call to protected op. of same type as current instance.

If the prefix of a selected component denotes a synchronized object the
selected component is part of an external call (or requeue) that can only
access public operations of the object. The previous check on this construct
was too restrictive, and did not allow public protected operations, only task
entries.

No short example available.

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

	* sem_ch4.adb (Analyze_Selected_Component): Refine analysis
	of prefix whose type is a current instance of a synchronized
	type. If the prefix is an object this is an external call (or
	requeue) that can only access public operations of the object. The
	previous predicate was too restrictive, and did not allow public
	protected operations, only task entries.
