[Ada] Finer grained secondary stack management

This patch has several effects:

1) The management of the secondary stack is now "tighter". A transient block
   created for the purpose of managing the secondary stack will do so unless
   the block appears within a function returning on the secondary stack or when
   2) is in effect. Previously, due to some questionable logic, the management
   was left to the nearest enclosing scoping construct and not the block even
   though the block was created to manage the secondary stack in the first
   place.

2) Switch -gnatd.s now controls an optimization where a transient block created
   for the purpose of managing the secondary stack will no longer manage the
   secondary stack when there is an enclosing scoping construct which already
   does so.

	* debug.adb: Document the use of switch -gnatd.s.
	* einfo.ads Update the documentation on attribute
	Sec_Stack_Needed_For_Return and attribute Uses_Sec_Stack. Remove
	the uses of these attributes from certain entities.
	* exp_ch7.adb (Make_Transient_Block): Reimplement the circuitry
	which determines whether the block should continue to manage
	the secondary stack.
