This patch improves an error message on an illegal prefixed procedure
call Obj.Name (Args) when Name denotes a visible component of Obj, as
well as a primitive operation of the type of Obj.

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

gcc/ada/

        * sem_ch6.adb (Analyze_Call_And_Resolve): Add information to the
        error message on an illegal procedure call, when the illegality
        is due to the presence of a component of the full view of the
        target object, as well as a procedure with the same name (See RM
        4.1.3 (9.2/3)).
