This patch extends the legality of the GNAT attribute Scalar_Storage_Order,
to apply to formal private types. Previously this extension applied only
in GNAT_Mode, to support instantiations of Ada.Sequential_IO, but it is more
generally useful.
The following must compile quietly:
----
with Memory_View_Generic;
procedure Main is
type T is array (1..10) of integer;
package OK is new Memory_View_Generic (T);
type T2 is new Long_Float;
package Wrong is new Memory_View_Generic (T2);
begin
null;
end;
----
with System;
generic
type Source_Type is private;
package Memory_View_Generic is
-- various declarations ...
SSO : System.Bit_Order := Source_Type'Scalar_Storage_Order;
end Memory_View_Generic;

* sem_attr.adb (Analyze_Attribute, case Scalar_Storage_Order): The
attribute reference is legal within a generic unit when the prefix is a
formal private type.
