[Ada] Streamline comparison for equality of 2-element arrays


In the general case, the comparison for equality of array objects is
implemented by a local function that contains, among other things, a
loop running over the elements, comparing them one by one and exiting
as soon as an element is not the same in the two array objects.

For the specific case of constrained 2-element arrays, this is rather
heavy and unnecessarily obfuscates the control flow of the program,
so this change implements a simple conjunction of comparisons for it.

Running these commands:

  gcc -c p.ads -O -gnatD
  grep loop p.ads.dg

On the following sources:

package P is

  type Rec is record
    Re : Float;
    Im : Float;
  end record;

  type Arr is array (1 .. 2) of Rec;

  function Equal (A, B : Arr) return Boolean is (A = B);

end P;

Should execute silently.

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

	* exp_ch4.adb (Expand_Array_Equality): If optimization is
	enabled, generate a simple conjunction of comparisons for the
	specific case of constrained 1-dimensional 2-element arrays.
	Fix formatting.
