[Bug fortran/32986] New: Improve diagnostic message for COMMON with automatic object

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following is invalid, but the error message does not help much:

function a(n)
  real :: x(n)
  common /c/ x
end function

Error: Variable 'n' at (1) in this context must be constant

Sunf95:
  real :: x(n)
          ^
ERROR: "X" is a common-block-object, therefore it must not be declared as an
explicit-shape array with nonconstant bounds.

ifort:
fortcom: Error: aff.f90, line 2: A COMMON block data object must not be an
automatic object.   [X]
