This patch improves the code generated for interface conversions. It
avoids the generation of unchecked conversions after referencing a tag
component associated with an interface. We cannot generate such uchecked
conversion because the RM allows the backend to obtain a copy of the
value of the actual object and store it in some other place (like a
register).

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

2010-10-04  Javier Miranda  <miranda@adacore.com>

	* exp_disp.ads (Convert_Tag_To_Interface): New function which must be
	used to convert a node referencing a tag to a class-wide interface type.
	* exp_disp.adb (Convert_Tag_To_Interface): New function.
	(Expand_Interface_Conversion): Replace invocation of
	Unchecked_Conversion by new function Convert_Tag_To_Interface.
	(Write_DT): Add support for null primitives.
	* exp_ch3.adb (Expand_N_Object_Declaration): For tagged type objects,
	cleanup code that handles interface conversions and avoid unchecked
	conversion of referenced tag components.
	* exp_ch5.adb (Expand_N_Assignment_Statement): Code cleanup. Avoid
	unrequired conversions when generating a dispatching call to _assign.
	* sprint.adb (Write_Itype): Fix wrong output of not null access itypes.
