[Bug libfortran/38668] New: advance="no": no buffering, truncate and seek

["tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

We currently have a terribly inefficient implementation of
advance="no":

$ cat write-advance.f
      program main
      do i=1,10**6
        write (10,fmt='(A)',advance='no') 'a'
      end do
      end
$ gfortran -O write-advance.f

stracing this leads to

_llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_SET)            = 0
ftruncate64(3, 0)                       = 0
write(3, "a"..., 1)                     = 1
_llseek(3, 1, [1], SEEK_SET)            = 0
ftruncate64(3, 1)                       = 0
_llseek(3, 1, [1], SEEK_SET)            = 0
ftruncate64(3, 1)                       = 0
write(3, "a"..., 1)                     = 1
_llseek(3, 2, [2], SEEK_SET)            = 0
ftruncate64(3, 2)                       = 0
write(3, "a"..., 1)                     = 1
_llseek(3, 3, [3], SEEK_SET)            = 0
ftruncate64(3, 3)                       = 0
write(3, "a"..., 1)                     = 1
