Commit Message
The finalization of objects dynamically allocated through an anonymous access
type is deferred to the enclosing library unit in the current implementation
and a warning is given on each of them.
However this cannot be done if the designated type is local, because this
would generate dangling references to the local finalization routine, so
the finalization needs to be dropped in this case and the warning adjusted.
Tested on x86-64/Linux, applied on all active branches.

* exp_ch7.adb (Build_Anonymous_Master): Do not build the master
for a local designated type.
* exp_util.adb (Build_Allocate_Deallocate_Proc): Force Needs_Fin
to false if no finalization master is attached to an access type
and assert that it is anonymous in this case.
* sem_res.adb (Resolve_Allocator): Mention that the object might
not be finalized at all in the warning given when the type is an
anonymous access-to-controlled type.
