This patch enhances the debugger to distinguish between fat pointers
that represent either: array types, or array access types. In the latter
case, the object/type is encoded as a typedef type pointing to the fat
pointer.
The first part of the change is to adjust ada_check_typedef to avoid
stripping the typedef layer when it points to a fat pointer. The rest
of the patch is adjustments required in various places to deal with
the fact that the type is uses might now be a typedef.

typedefs.
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Convert fat pointers that are not
array accesses to simple arrays rather than simple array pointers.
