Remove 'varsize-limit'
This makes the Ada-specific "varsize-limit" a synonym for "max-value-size", and removes the Ada-specific checks of the limit. I am not certain of the history here, but it seems to me that this code is fully obsolete now. And, removing this makes it possible to index large Ada arrays without triggering an error. A new test case is included to demonstrate this.
