* intrinsic.texi (Introduction): Rewrite first paragraph.

--------------------------------------------------------------

A fairly minor rewrite to the first paragraph of the "Introduction to intrinsic procedures" section.

Tested with "make pdf" and "make texi"; committed to trunk under blanket
approval from Steve Kargl.

-GNU Fortran provides a rich set of intrinsic procedures that includes all
-the intrinsic procedures required by the Fortran 95 standard, a set of
-intrinsic procedures for backwards compatibility with Gnu Fortran 77
-(i.e., @command{g77}), and a small selection of intrinsic procedures
-from the Fortran 2003 standard.  Any description here, which conflicts with a 
-description in either the Fortran 95 standard or the Fortran 2003 standard,
-is unintentional and the standard(s) should be considered authoritative.
