This patch enforces the rule given in 6.3.1 (10.1/2): a prefixed view of a
subprogram is intrinsic, because the compiler has to generate a wrapper for any
call to it. If the name in a subprogram renaming is a prefixed view, the entity
is thus intrinsic, and 'Access cannot be applied to it.

Compiling the following must be rejected with:

main.adb:6:36: prefix of "Access" attribute cannot be intrinsic

---
with Some_Package;
procedure Main is
   Message: Some_Package.Message_Type;
   procedure Print renames Message.Print;  -- this has convention intrinsic,
                                           -- see RM 6.3.1(10.1/2)
   Method_Ref: access procedure := Print'Access;
    -- thus taking 'Access should be illegal
begin
   Method_Ref.all;
end;
---
package Some_Package is
   type Message_Type is tagged null record;
   procedure Print (Message: in Message_Type);
end Some_Package;

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

	* sem_ch8.adb (Analyze_Primitive_Renamed_Operation): The prefixed
	view of a subprogram has convention Intrnnsic, and a renaming
	of a prefixed view cannot be the prefix of an Access attribute.
