In Ada 2012 mode, 'Result is allowed both in Postcondition pragma and in aspect
Post. The error message issued by GNAT was not mentioning aspect Post. This is
now fixed.

Compiling the following code in mode Ada 2012 raises the error:

$ gcc -c -gnat2012 p.adb
p.ads:3:18: "Result" attribute can only appear in function Postcondition pragma 
or Post aspect

---
package P is
   function F return Boolean
     with Pre => F'Result;
end P;
---
package body P is
   function F return Boolean is
   begin
      return True;
   end F;
end P;

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

        * sem_attr.adb (Result): modify error message to take into account Post
        aspect when compiling Ada 2012 (or newer) code.
