Issue 3705: Addition of a constructor for "empty" Any objects.                                                                                                                                                      (ada-rtf)

Summary:  There is at this moment no way of creating an Any with a given 
type but no value. This is however helpfull (if not needed) when 
creating the Any passed (through a NamedValue) as the result parameter 
of the CORBA.create_request method. I suggest to add a constructor for 
Any objects with the following syntax :
package CORBA {
  function Get_Empty_Any (Tc : in TypeCode.Object) return Any;
};
