We have an existing mechanism for suppressing dead code warning messages
in the case of an if-statement within an instance of a generic where the
value of the condition is known statically. Generalize this approach to
also handle case statements.

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

gcc/ada/

	* exp_util.adb (Kill_Dead_Code): Generalize the existing
	handling of if statements to handle case statements similarly.
