This patch introduces two new validity checks to the GNAT compiler:

1) -gnatVl   Check non-overlapping parameters
When this check is enabled, each subprogram call is preceded by a sequence of
checks that ensure no overlap between actual parameters.

2) -gnatVv   Check proper initialization of scalars on parameters and results
When this check is enabled, each IN, IN OUT and OUT formal parameter along with
a possible function result is checked on entry and exit of a subprogram for
properly initialized scalars.

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