This patch fixes a loop in the compiler when an address clause is used to
specify an overlay, and the overlaid object has an illegal object declaration
in which the expression is a premature reference to the object itself.

Compiling p.ads must yield:

  p.ads:3:33: object "Nowhere" cannot be used before end of its declaration

---
with system; use system;

---
with System; use System;
package P is
  Nowhere : constant Address := Nowhere;
  Thing : Integer;
  for Thing'Address use Nowhere;
end;

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

	* sem_ch8.adb (Premature_Usage): If the premature usage of
	an entity is as the expression in its own object decaration,
	rewrite the reference as Any_Id to prevent cascaded errors or
	compiler loops when such an entity is used in an address clause.
