The compiler now uses Replace instead of Rewrite, when the semantic
analyzer discovers that what looked like a selected component was
in factt a function call. This avoids a special case in ASIS for
handling an undecorated original node. This is an internal change
only with no functional effect (basically it is a cleanup in the
interface between the front end and ASIS).

The following test, compiled with -gnatdt

     1. procedure Ololo is
     2.     type Rec is record
     3.        C : Integer;
     4.     end record;
     5.     Rec_0 : Rec := (C => 0);
     6.     function Fun return Rec is
     7.     begin
     8.        return Rec_0;
     9.     end Fun;
    10.     I : Integer;
    11. begin
    12.     I := Ololo.Fun.C;
    13. end Ololo;

generates output which does NOT contain any instance of the
string:

Rewritten: original node = N_Expanded_Name

Previously there was one occurrence

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

        * sem_ch8.adb (Find_Selected_Component): Use Replace instead
        of Rewrite.
