The value of a boolean expression or short-circuit operation is valid if the
elementary operands of the expression are valid. This patch removes validity
checks that were superfluous, and led to a quadratic expansion in the generated
code for short-circuit expressions with multiple alternatives.
No simple example available.

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

2010-09-10  Ed Schonberg  <schonberg@adacore.com>

	* checks.adb (Ensure_Valid): If the expression is a boolean expression
	or short-circuit operation, do no emit a validity check: only the
	elementary operands of the expression need checking.
