This patch has three components. First we set SUPPRESSED mode as the
default for -gnatg mode (including the run-time). This has no effect
right now, but avoids hidden problems that may appear if in future
we make overflow checking the default behavior.

Second, in some obscure cases, the overflow checking code was
generating bogus warnings for redundant type conversions from
generated overflow checking code in MINIMIZED/ELIMINATED mode.
No simple test has been found for this, and the conditions
are quite obscure (and not well understood!) but the patch
decisively eliminates such bogus warnings.

Finally, we properly handle the case where the result is
converted to a larger type. The following test program:

     1. with Text_IO; use Text_IO;
     2. procedure convov is
     3.    function a (x : integer)
     4.      return Long_Long_Integer
     5.    is
     6.    begin
     7.       return Long_Long_Integer (x * x);
     8.    end;
     9. begin
    10.    Put_Line (a (Integer'Last)'Img);
    11. end;

when run in -gnato2 or -gnato3 mode, compiles quietly
and outputs a single line:

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

	* checks.adb (Minimize_Eliminate_Overflow_Checks): Properly
	handle case of top level expression within type conversion
	* gnat1drv.adb (Adjust_Global_Switches): Set SUPPRESSED as
	default for overflow checking for -gnatg mode (includes run-time).
	* sem_res.adb (Resolve_Type_Conversion): Avoid bogus warnings
	about redundant conversions from MINIMIZED/EXTENDED mode checking
