[PATCH, Fortran] gfortran.texi: Update "Standards" section.

The attached patch updates the "Standards" section of the manual to say 
that GNU Fortran "implements" (rather than "aims to implement") the 
Fortran 95 standard, and notes that support of Fortran 95 means that 
GFortran can compile virtually all Fortran 90 and Fortran 77 programs as 
well.  In addition, it adds mention of the OpenMP standard and TR 15581 
(as per Steve Kargl's comment that this is coming in a matter of days).

Also, the "we may support other standards in the future" has been 
trimmed down to  the only thing that, so far as I know, is still in the 
works: Fortran 2003.  (I seem to recall that the idea of a -std=f90 
switch has been pretty much abandoned; is there any reason to expect 
that a -std=f77 switch is ever likely to happen?)

OK for trunk?
