[Ada] Implement machine parsable format for -gnatR output
This adds a new variant to the -gnatR switch, namely -gnatRj, which causes the compiler to output representation information to a file in the JSON data interchange format. It can be combined with -gnatR0/1/2/3/m (but is incompatible with -gnaRe and -gnatRs). The information output in this mode is a superset of that output in the traditional -gnatR mode, but is otherwise equivalent for the common part. 2018-05-29 Eric Botcazou <ebotcazou@adacore.com> gcc/ada/ * doc/gnat_ugn/building_executable_programs_with_gnat.rst (Alphabetical List of All Switches): Document -gnatRj. (Debugging Control): Likewise. * gnat_ugn.texi: Regenerate. * opt.ads (List_Representation_Info_To_JSON): New boolean variable. * osint-c.adb (Create_Repinfo_File): Use the .json instead of .rep extension if List_Representation_Info_To_JSON is true. * repinfo.ads: Document the JSON output format. * repinfo.adb (List_Location): New procedure.

this case, the component clause uses an obvious extension of permitted
Ada syntax, for example @code{at 0 range 0 .. -1}.
