    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.
