	* sem_attr.adb (Analyze_Attribute, case 'Constrained): In an
	instance the attribute is legal, and its value is determined
	statically if the type has no discriminants. This choice is
	more useful than rechecking the legality rule in the instance,
	is consistent with older usage, and is also consistent with all
	existing tests.

	* sem_cat.adb (Validate_Static_Object_Name): Change error into
	warning in Relaxed_Semantic_Mode.
