Before this patch, the compiler refrained from rewriting aggregates
into purely positional form in some cases of one-component aggregates.
As explained in comments, this was because the back end could not
handle positional aggregates in those situations.
As the back end seems to have grown more capable, this patch removes
the workaround. It also extends the comments describing a warning that
is emitted in the same configuration with aggregates.
gcc/ada/
* exp_aggr.adb (Aggr_Size_OK): Remove workaround and extend
comment.

- -- One-component aggregates are suspicious, and if the context type

+ -- One-component named aggregates where the index constraint is not

+ -- intended to write a subtype name but wrote the name of an object
+ -- instead. We emit a warning if we're in such a case.
