This patch protects the compiler against cascaded errors and infinite loops
when analyzing a subunit that has serious syntax errors and an incomplete
context.

Compiling configurations.adb must yield:

   configurations.adb:1:01: spec of this package does not allow a body
   configurations-kernel-system_model.adb:7:05: misplaced "return" statement
   configurations-kernel-system_model.adb:8:02:
                        missing "begin" for function "Exists" at line 5
---
with text_IO;
 separate (Configurations.Kernel)
package body System_Model is
  --  syntactic  errors below ....
  function Exists (NickNum: Integer) return Boolean  is
  --  begin
    return False;
  end Exists;
end System_Model;
--
separate(Configurations)
package body Kernel is
  package System_Model is
  end System_Model;
  package body System_Model is separate;
end Kernel;
--
package body Configurations is
   --  actually proper body not allowed ...
   package body Kernel is separate;
begin
  null;
end Configurations;
--
generic
package Configurations is
   package Kernel is
   end Kernel;
end Configurations;
--

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

	* sem_ch10.adb (Analyze_Context): Apply simple fixup if context
	of subunit is incomplete.
	(Analyze_Proper_Body): If parent spec is not available, do not
	attempt analysis.
