[Ada] Unnesting problems with expansion of Loop_Entry attribute

For expansion of a Loop_Entry attribute, a function body is generated in
association with the condition of a generated while loop, and the
entities within the function need to have their scopes reset to the
function Entity_Id, for proper handling of up-level-reference processing
in the GNAT-LLVM compiler. The existing handling only did this for
itypes associated with the loop, but there can be other kinds of
entities that also need to be reset, so the condition of the loop was
relaxed to allow resetting for more entity cases. However, note that the
fix is likely still incomplete (potentially allowing either too many or
too few entity cases).

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

	* exp_attr.adb (Expand_Loop_Entry_Attribute): Revise loop that
	resets the scopes of entities associated with Loop_Id to the
	scope of the new function, so the resetting is not restricted to
	itypes, but excludes loop parameters and the function entity
	itself. However, this fix is believed to be incomplete and a ???
	comment is added to indicate that.
