Name of Fortran intrinsic types

[FX Coudert <fxcoudert at gmail dot com>]

Hi all,

This is my first patch submission for gdb (I received confirmation of  
my copyright assignment a week ago). It's short and I hope it's  
straightforward: for intrinsic Fortran types (here, real and complex  
types), I think we should use the name the compiler produced, instead  
of trying to be clever.

The rationale is that this allows us to output Fortran names for the  
types, e.g. "real(kind=4)", instead gdb-specific, non-Fortran names  
(e.g. "int4"). The reason for doing that instead of simply replacing  
the format (currently "int%d") in gdb is that we have no way, in  
general, to know the kind of the variable in gdb, so it's better to  
simply trust the compiler!

Built and regtested on x86_64-linux (there are a fair number of  
FAILures in the testsuite, but none in the Fortran area, so maybe  
it's the normal state?).

Thanks,
FX
