A slightly updated version - F2008 is unchanged but I also modified 
other places:
- Remove examples for implemented F2003 features as the list does not 
really contain the real highlights and the F2003/F2008 should provide 
the rest
- Remove OpenMPv2.5 referral - a few lines later OpenMP v3.0 is already 
referred to
- Update another place for Fortran 2008, which is now an ISO standard 
and no longer under development

The patch has been checked via "make pdf info html" and the result has 
been visually inspected.
OK for the trunk?

TODO: Update "Fortran 2003 status" which I did not not touch but the 
list of supported features has not been updated since about 4.3. (I 
currently do not plan to work on this.)
