This patch adds a check to reject an aspect Predicate on a formal type
declaration.

Compiling gen.adb must yield:

   gen.ads:2:55: predicate cannot apply to formal type

---
generic
   type T is array (Integer range <>) of Integer
       with Predicate => T'First /= 1;
function Gen return Integer;
---
function Gen return Integer is
   X : T(1 .. 2);
begin
   return X'First;
end Gen;

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

        * sem_ch13.adb (Analyze_Aspect_Specifications, case Predicate): A
        predicate cannot apply to a formal type.
