Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/194596.

When the function result symbol is encountered while the compiler is already completing the function result type, flang could recursively re-enter _CompleteFunctionResultType()_ and crash on invalid code.
Example:
```
character*(a) function bb() result(a) ! ERROR
implicit integer(a)
A = "a"
end
```
Instead of crashing on conflicting declarations, flang now reports an “already declared” error and stops further recursion.
