[Ada] Spurious error in use of homograph of type name in predicate

This patch fixes a spurious error in an expression for a dynamic predicate,
when the name of (a homograph of) the type to which the predicate applies
is used in a context where the name cannot denote a current occurrence.

The following must compile quietly:

   gcc -c conv.ads

---
with Typ; use Typ;
package Conv  with SPARK_Mode is
private
   type U is new Typ.U with record
      X : Integer;
   end record
     with Dynamic_Predicate => Typ.U(U).Get > 0;
end Conv;
---
package Typ is
   type U is tagged private;
   function Get (V : U) return Integer;
private
   type U is tagged record
      Y : Integer;
   end record;

   function Get (V : U) return Integer is (V.Y);
end Typ;

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

	* sem_ch13.adb (Replace_Type_Ref): In the expression for a dynamic
	predicate, do not replace an identifier that matches the type if the
	identifier is a selector in a selected component, because this
	indicates a reference to some homograph of the type itself, and  not to
	the current occurence in the predicate.
