[Bug fortran/37131] New: inline matmul for small matrix sizes

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

Ouch.

This is a factor of 20 for this simple test case on my computer.

$ cat foo.f90
program main
  real, dimension(3,3) :: a,b,c
  call random_number(a)
  call random_number(b)
  do i=1,10**8
    c = matmul(a,b)
    a(1,1) = a(1,1) + b(1,1) - c(1,1)
  end do
  print *,c
end program main

$ gfortran -O3 foo.f90
$ time ./a.out

  do i=1,10**8
    forall (i=1:3)
      forall (j=1:3)
        c(i,j) = sum(a(i,:) * b(:,j))
      end forall
    end forall
    a(1,1) = a(1,1) + b(1,1) - c(1,1)
