ada: Fix couple of issues in documentation of overflow checking
There is still a mention of the defunct CHECKED mode and the Default
Settings paragraph is confusing with regard to the -gnato switch.
gcc/ada/
* doc/gnat_ugn/gnat_and_program_execution.rst (Overflows in GNAT)
<Default Settings>: Remove obsolete paragraph about -gnato.
<Implementation Notes>: Replace CHECKED with STRICT.
* gnat_ugn.texi: Regenerate.
