This changes the compiler to accept again absolute address clause for aliased
array of unconstrained nominal subtype, instead of erroring out in this case.
Tested on x86_64-suse-linux, applied on the mainline.

* gcc-interface/decl.c (gnat_to_gnu_entity) <E_Variable>: Only give
a warning for the overlay of an aliased array with an unconstrained
nominal subtype if the address is absolute.
