Compiler rejects an instantiation but accepts the corresponding generic
unit, when it includes a declaration for a private type whose full view
is a record type with a controlled component, and the full view of an
object of the type is given by an aggregate with default-initialized
components.

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

        * sem_aggr.adb (Resolve_Record_Aggregate, Step_5): Do not check
        for the need to use an extension aggregate for a given component
        when within an instance and the type of the component hss a
        private ancestor: the instantiation is legal if the generic
        compiles, and spurious errors may be generated otherwise.
