It may be useful to have trivial postconditions of "True" or "False" on some
subprograms. The first is essentially a confirming postcondition, while the
second indicates that a procedure will not return (if postconditions are
checked). Do not emit warnings on such postconditions. Similarly for Ensures
components of contract-cases. GNAT does not issue warnings on the following
code:

$ gcc -c -gnatc -gnat12 -gnatw.t p.ads

     1. package P is
     2.    function Func return Boolean with
     3.      Post => True,
     4.      Contract_Case => (Name    => "all",
     5.                        Mode    => Nominal,
     6.                        Ensures => True);
     7.    procedure Proc with
     8.      Post => False,
     9.      Contract_Case => (Name    => "all",
    10.                        Mode    => Nominal,
    11.                        Ensures => False);
    12. end P;

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

	* sem_ch6.adb (Check_Subprogram_Contract): Do not emit warnings
	on trivially True or False postconditions and Ensures components
	of contract-cases.
