ada: Emit a warning on inheritly limited types
Record types that do not have a limited keyword but have a member with a limited type are also considered to be limited types. This can be confusing to understand for newer Ada users. It is better to emit a warning in this scenario and suggest that the type should be marked with a limited keyword. This diagnostic will be acticated when the -gnatw_l switch is used. gcc/ada/ * sem_ch3.adb: Add method Check_Inherited_Limted_Record for emitting the warning for an inherited limited type. * warnsw.adb: Add processing for the -gnatw_l switch that triggeres the inheritly limited type warning. * warnsw.ads: same as above. * doc/gnat_ugn/building_executable_programs_with_gnat.rst: Add entry for -gnatw_l switch. * gnat_ugn.texi: Regenerate.
