[PATCH] PR fortran/64124,70409 -- Reduce a charlen

[Steve Kargl]

All,

As everyone knows, gfortran reads source into a trees and
and at some point she passes those trees to a resolution
phases.  There are instances, for example the new tests,
where resolution fails to use the character length 
parameter in declaration statements.  The attach patch
seems to cure this problem.

Previously, after reading the scalar-integer-expr, gfortran
would assign the expression to the charlen without trying
to reduce it to a constant (which should happen but doesn't
in the resolution phase).  The patch now tries to reduce
the scalar-integer-expr to a constant, and then assigns 
that constant to the charlen.

Bootstrap and regression tested on 7-branch and trunk.
OK to commit?
