The use of -gnatR in check semantics only (-gnatc) mode does not work
since code must be generated for -gnatR to work. The attempt to combine
the two switches is now properly diagnosed. The following trivial package
1. package gnatrgnatc is
2. end;
If compiled with switches -gnatc -gnatR2, outputs:
gnat1: -gnatR not permitted since -gnatc given previously
If compiled with switches -gnatR2 -gnatc, outputs:
gnat1: -gnatc not allowed since previous -gnatR given
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

* gnat_ugn.texi: Document that -gnatc and -gnatR cannot be
given together.
* switch-c.adb (Scan_Front_End_Switches): Give error if both
-gnatR and -gnatc given.
