[Bug fortran/52846] [F2008] Support submodules - part 2/3 - redux

[Paul Richard Thomas]

Dear All,

Concerning the submodule file extension: I am happy to change it to
change it to three character; eg ".smd", or to retain the ".mod"
extension. The latter would make the patch less complicated and would
follow at least one of the other brands. However, my inclination would
be to stick with ".smod". If there are any dissenting voices, please
let them be heard today because I intend to commit the patch this
evening.

Best regards

Paul
