In some common use cases, gnatls used to return E_Fatal error code, which was
unfriendly for analysis. It has been changed as follows:
 "gnatls -v" and default runtime exists, or
 "gnatls -v --RTS=<good runtime path>" - now returns E_Success
 "gnatls -v" and no default runtime exists - now returns E_Warnings
 "gnatls", "gnatls -h" - now returns E_Success

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

	* gnatls.adb: Lower severity of the program's return value in
	some common cases.
