This patch removes a few dangling references to the late front-end
implementation of exceptions from the comments of targparm.ads, and
also fixes a thinko there.

gcc/ada/

	* targparm.ads: Remove references to front-end-based exceptions. Fix
	thinko.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on master.
