[fortran,patch] Binding label can be any initialisation expression


Well, only scalar character of the default kind, but still…

This patch achieves this goal by following the obvious plan, which has not changed since I wrote it in PR 36275 in 2008 :)
The custom matcher for binding label, in gfc_match_bind_c(), is removed and the generic matcher gfc_match_init_expr() is called, followed by checks that the expression obtained fulfills the constraints of a C identifier.

So, now is the time to think about PR 38839 (what characters to allow as a binding label): right now, I allow alphadecimals, underscore and dollar. From the PR comments, it seems like @ and ` might be also allowed for universal-character names, but they are not supported by GCC on platforms I tested right now. Let me know what you think, but I don’t think we should worry to much about it.

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-apple-darwin13, comes with testcases.
OK to commit?

PS: you may notice I have had some time to hack at gfortran these past few days... it feels good!
