This commit eliminates a workaround in the Ada front end related to overflow suppression. The previous mechanism is no longer necessary due to recent changes in how ‘ghost’ code — compiler-generated or ignored elements — is handled and removed. Removing this workaround simplifies the compiler’s codebase and reduces maintenance overhead.
