    Optimize nonstandard boolean validity checking
    
    Validity checking of enumerations with nonstandard representation
    starts by checking the value range, then calling _rep_to_pos to verify
    that the value itself is valid. The value range check is thus
    redundant and inefficient: the _rep_to_pos call is normally inlined
    when optimizing for speed and the range check slows down the fast
    path; it is unnecesary and undesirable when optimizing for size, and
    just unnecessary when not optimizing. This patch thus drops the range
    check for nonstandard boolean types.
    
    
    [changelog]
    * exp_attr.adb (Expand_N_Attribute_Reference) <Attribute_Valid>: Drop
    redundant range check for nonstandard booleans.
