[rfc] Ada simplification: ada_find_any_type

["Ulrich Weigand" <uweigand at de dot ibm dot com>]

Hello,

this is the last of the Ada patches.  A recent change introduced a use of
current_gdbarch into ada_find_any_type, which is somewhat hard to eliminate.

However, it seems to me that for all but one callers of ada_find_any_type,
the check for primitive types isn't really necessary, as they are always
passed Ada-specific types that can never be primitive types.

The one exception is to_fixed_range_type, which indeed should check for
primitive types.  The following patch therefore moves the check into this
routine.  While this still used current_gdbarch, that instance turns out
to be more straightforward to eliminate here than it would have been in
the generic ada_find_any_type routine ...

Joel, would this be OK?

Bye,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* ada-lang.c (ada_find_any_type): Move check for primitive types ...
	(to_fixed_range_type): ... to here.
