Fixes #4458.

As discussed in today's MAP-Lib monthly meeting.

There appears to be no need to update the reference result.

With @HansOlsson's suggestion this looks good to me, also for MSL 4.1.0

Isn't x(fixed = true) a violation of this rule from https://specification.modelica.org/master/synchronous-language-elements.html#initialization-of-clocked-partitions?

Attribute fixed cannot be applied to variables in clocked partitions. The attribute fixed is true for variables to which previous is applied, otherwise false.

Ouch. So, how are initial conditions specified for such clocked partitions?

That's a valid question, but more work on the specification side is needed to answer it. Until then, I would just find it best to avoid breaking one of the few simple rules we have.

By the way, System Modeler also warns about underdetermined initialization where PI.x was automatically selected to be initialized from start, so it is not only in Dymola that this example will not run as cleanly as we'd ideally want it to.

I should also mention that System Modeler is lacking a check for

Attribute fixed cannot be applied to variables in clocked partitions.

so I can't tell how close the rest of the MSL is to complying with the rule.
