* [Ada] Remove zero-origin array indexing for Source_Buffers

This patch removes the zero-origin array indexing that was used for
Source_Buffers with thin pointers. It is impossible to implement
zero-origin indexing correctly in Ada without fat pointers.
For one thing, 'First and 'Last can't work. For another thing,
array bounds checking can't work. And finally, "=" can't work,
because the virtual A(0) and B(0) could happen to be at the
same address -- to implement "=" properly, the 'First must
be added to both pointers.

This change makes the compiler slightly slower, but it has the advantage
that "=" (which is used all over) now works reliably. It also has the
advantage of bounds checking (except when checks are suppressed).
We also make the source buffers read-only, to avoid accidental
overwriting. No change in behavior; no test available.

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

2017-04-25  Bob Duff  <duff@adacore.com>

	* types.ads, osint.adb, sinput-c.adb, sinput-d.adb, sinput-l.adb,
	* sinput-p.adb: Use regular fat pointers, with bounds checking,
	for source buffers.  Fix misc obscure bugs.
	* sinput.ads, sinput.adb: Use regular fat pointers, with bounds
	checking, for source buffers.  Modify representation clause for
	Source_File_Record as appropriate.  Move Source_File_Index_Table
	from spec to body, because it is not used outside the body.
	Move Set_Source_File_Index_Table into the private part, because
	it is used only in the body and in children.  Use trickery to
	modify the dope in the generic instantiation case.  It's ugly,
	but not as ugly as the previous method.  Fix documentation.
	Remove obsolete code.
	* fname-sf.adb, targparm.adb: Fix misc out-of-bounds
	indexing in source buffers.
	* fmap.adb: Avoid conversions from one string type to another.
	Remove a use of global name buffer.
	* osint.ads, sfn_scan.ads, sfn_scan.adb, sinput-c.ads: Comment
	fixes.
