[Bug fortran/29277] Formated stream output: Translate "\n" / achar(10) into "\r\n" on some platforms

Please note that with formatted stream I/O we implicitly write a /n or /r/n in
the next_record_w () function in transfer.c depending on the system.  I think
this meets the intent.

Now an issue I see is what if we want to explicitly write a /n on this system? 
There would be no way to do that if we translate it to /n/r.  I am not sure the
intent of the committee was to restrict this in this way, but allow it in the
case of formatted end of record.

I have not tried this, but if I write out a formatted string with one character
/n I wonder if we we get /n/r/n with current gfortran.  

I am not agreeing or diagreeing here.  You have raised a good question here.
