    Validate a robot value.

    This function is the robot wrapper for gen_robot_print.svalid_value.

    Description of arguments:
    var_name                        The name of the variable whose value is to
                                    be validated.
    invalid_values                  A list of invalid values.  If var_value is
                                    equal to any of these, it is invalid.
                                    Note that if you specify anything for
                                    invalid_values (below), the valid_values
                                    list is not even processed.
    valid_values                    A list of invalid values.  var_value must
                                    be equal to one of these values to be
                                    considered valid.

    If either the invalid_values or the valid_values parms are not of type
    "list", they will be processed as python code in order to generate a list.
    This allows the robot programmer to essentially specify a list literal.
    For example, the robot code could contain the following:

    Rvalid Value  var1  valid_values=['one', 'two']

    Examples of robot calls and corresponding output:

    rvalid_value                    MY_PARM
