[Ada] Type invariant or postcondition may cause uninitialized memory reads
This patch corrects an error in the compiler whereby a function
requiring the generation of a postconditions procedure may cause an
uninitialized memory read when the return type
Has_Unconstrained_Elements or is an unconstrained array.
The error occurs because evaluation of postconditions happens within the
"at end" handler when the temporary result object may go out of scope.
The patch modifies expansion in the above cases to evaluate
postconditions at the point of return instead - in order to guarantee
the result object is valid.
Note that these changes have the side effect of introducing a semantic
bug such that functions returning types with unconstrained elements will
have their postconditions/return type invariants evaluated before
finalization. Work is currently being done to introduce wrappers which
will solve this problem and remove technical debt in this area.

* exp_ch7.adb (Build_Finalizer): Disable late evaluation of
postconditions for functions returning types which where
Has_Unconstrained_Elements is true or are unconstrained arrays.
