RE: [sv-ec] Transition bins of length 1 -> disallowed. New Mantis 1787

The current text indicates that what is numbered is the number of
transitions, not the number of values. If you add additional text which
numbers the number of values, that becomes confusing. So why don't you
take the same text you proposed, just changing 1 to 0, i.e.,
"Transition bin specifications of length 0 are disallowed. These are
transition bin specifications containing a trans_set production of a
single range_value...".
