[flang][driver] Extend the `flang` bash script to act as a driver
Until now, `f18` would: 1. Use Flang to unparse the input files 2. Call an external Fortran compiler to compile the unparsed source files (generated in step 1) With this patch, `f18` will stop after unparsing the input source files, i.e. step 1 above. The `flang` bash script will take care of step 2, i.e. calling an external Fortran compiler driver to compile them. This way: * the functionality of `f18` is reduced - it will only drive Flang (as opposed to delegating code-generation to an external tool on top of this) * we will able to switch between `f18` and `flang-new` for unparsing before an external Fortran compiler is called for code-generation The updated `flang` bash script needs to specify the output file when using the `-fdebug-unparse` action. Both `f18` and `flang-new` have been updated accordingly. These changes were discussed in [1] as a requirement for replacing `f18` with `flang-new`.
