  Coverage testing showed that some parts of ada_convert_actual are
never tested.

This patch adds a test for one of these, namely the handling of a
formal parameter whose type is an "aligner" type.

This test is written largely in C, because actually getting the
compiler to emit this seems tricky.  Eric pointed out some code in
GNAT explaining why:

  /* Either for foreign conventions, or if the underlying type is not passed
     by reference and is as large and aligned as the original type, strip off
     a possible padding type.  */
  if (TYPE_IS_PADDING_P (gnu_param_type))
