[Patch, fortran] Typo and grammatical fixes in intrinsic.texi

:ADDPATCH fortran:

In looking over Daniel Franke's recent intrinsic.texi patch, I noticed a 
few typos and small errors that were in the original file.  Most of 
these are pretty trivial (some cut-and-paste errors, some typos, a few 
bits of tortured grammar); the one that perhaps merits most note is that 
the MODULO() documentation erroneously included the table of specific 
names from MOD().  Thus this patch, to fix those existing errors.

I do have a question for future corrections: in the examples of 
procedure calls, where should spaces be inserted?  Should we have (for 
instance) @code(C = FUN(X,Y[,Z[,KIND]])}, or @code{C = FUN(X, Y, [, Z [, 
KIND]])}, or spaces only some of those places, or...?  Also, in the 
"Syntax" entries, should we have discrete examples for each allowable 
argument combination, or is []-notation allowable there?  In both of 
these cases, the existing documentation is inconsistent.

Finally, I'll note that this is my first patch submission, so I hope I'm 
doing it right; advice/corrections welcome!  I do have a copyright 
assignment on file, but I don't have write access, so someone else will 
have to commit this for me if it's approved.

Thanks,
- Brooks
