Ada: Fix excessive compilation time for decimal literal with large exponent

Fixes a case where compiling decimal literals with large exponents in Ada code took an excessively long time.

The compiler could hang when compiling an Ada decimal literal with a large exponent. This commit adds clauses for Ttypes and avoids attempting to convert real literals that don’t fit in Universal_Integer, resolving the issue.
