[Bug fortran/39772] New: add a correctness check for the size intrinsic to -fbounds-check

the following program

INTEGER*8 :: N
INTEGER, DIMENSION(:), ALLOCATABLE :: data
N=2_8**32
write(6,*) N
ALLOCATE(data(N))
write(6,*) SIZE(data,1)
END

prints 

           4294967296
           0

It would be useful if a check for overflow of size could be added to e.g.
-fbounds-check (a rather natural place I would say) so that this kind of
undefined behavior could be detected at run time. I'm aware of the fact that
this is fixed more fundamentally with F2003.
